In a post on X, Paul Chidi said that even after he left the NYSC, the money remained intact.
People started wondering how he was surviving during his NYSC year and he said he was making money through other means.
His words:
“I once made a tweet on how I saved my entire alawee during my NYSC, people called it a bluff, i just look at them and laugh. Even since I finished my NYSC, I never touch the money on my alawee account, the account is even locked till date. Keep living anyhow and spend carelessly on frivolities and irrelevant stuff, that one na for your pocket.”
When asked how he was surviving, Chidi said:
“My PPA was paying, gigs on X, I was also doing home lesson when I close from work. I was a workaholic in my service year.”

Federal Government increases NYSC allowance
The FG has officially increased the monthly allowance for NYSC members from N33,000 to N77,000, effective July 2024.
TheTalk.NG gathered that this upward review is in line with the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
NYSC said the increment aims to bring much-needed financial relief to the corps members and motivate them to serve Nigeria better.
