Did you know that the NYSC allowance for medical doctors, nurses, and other health workers is different from that of other corps members? This is an interesting fact worth knowing.

Each year, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, through the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), enlists thousands of corps members to serve the nation.

The NYSC program was established in 1973 by the Yakubu Gowon regime as a means of reconciling, reconstructing, and rebuilding the nation after the civil war.

The program receives significant funding from the Federal Government, and corps members are provided with a monthly stipend. However, the amount received by active corps members varies depending on the services they render.

Currently, most corps members receive a monthly allowance of N77,000, which is directly paid by the Federal Government through the NYSC.

In addition to the federal allowance, corps members may also receive an additional stipend from their Place of Primary Assignments (PPA) and the state where they are deployed.

It is worth noting that medical doctors, nurses, and other health workers serving in the NYSC earn a relatively higher allowance compared to others due to the demanding nature of their job and the risks they face at work.

If you are eager to learn more about this, we have provided information on the PPA allowance for medical corps members in different states, which will enhance your understanding of the NYSC allowance.

1. NYSC Federal Allowance for All Corps Members (2025 Update)

As of 2025, the federal government allowance for all corps members remains ₦77,000 monthly. This amount is paid by the federal government to every corps member, regardless of discipline or place of primary assignment (PPA).

2. NYSC Allowance for Medical Doctors (House Officers)

Medical doctors in NYSC who are posted to federal or teaching hospitals can receive between:

  • ₦80,000 – ₦150,000 per month, depending on the hospital, location, and government support.

  • This includes the regular ₦33,000 federal NYSC allowance.

👉 Some high-paying hospitals include:

  • UCH Ibadan

  • LUTH Lagos

  • ABUTH Zaria

  • FMC Abuja

  • UNTH Enugu

Doctors posted to state or private hospitals may earn slightly less, around ₦60,000 – ₦100,000/month.

3. NYSC Allowance for Nurses

Nurses posted to reputable health institutions often receive:

  • ₦40,000 – ₦80,000 monthly, depending on the state and hospital.

Most teaching hospitals and general hospitals offer stipends to encourage better care and retention during the service year. In addition to the ₦77,000 NYSC stipend, this adds up to a decent monthly income.

4. Pharmacists, Lab Scientists, and Other Allied Health Workers

Corps members in the following professions also enjoy extra stipends:

  • Pharmacists: ₦40,000 – ₦90,000/month

  • Medical Laboratory Scientists: ₦30,000 – ₦70,000/month

  • Physiotherapists & Radiographers: ₦40,000 – ₦100,000/month

Their monthly income is often boosted by the hospital’s internal budget, especially in urban or teaching hospital settings.

5. NYSC Allowance for Engineers, Lawyers & Other Professionals

  • Engineers posted to government or private firms may receive ₦30,000 – ₦70,000/month, especially in oil and construction sectors.

  • Lawyers posted to the Ministry of Justice or private chambers can earn ₦20,000 – ₦50,000/month, depending on the location.

Remember, these figures vary and may be negotiated or subject to change based on the PPA’s financial strength and state economy.
