The announcement, signed by Caroline Embu, the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, was made on Tuesday. Ahmed assured that all arrangements for the rollout of the improved package have been finalized.
“Corps members across Nigeria will soon begin receiving a new monthly allowance of ₦77,000,” the statement confirmed.
