Updated NYSC Corper Nurses Salary & Allowances in all the 36 States of Nigeria

Updated NYSC Corper Nurses Salary & Allowances in all the 36 States of Nigeria, How much are nurses paid during NYSC?

Yours sincerely, Nimedhealth, has decided to look into the salary and allowances of NYSC corper nurses this morning. Just as corper doctors, BSC Corper nurses are an integral part of the health care in Nigeria… NYSC nurses while in camp are responsible for running and taking care of patients /sick Corpers in camp clinic.

Corper nurses work hand-in-hand with corper doctors, corper pharmacists, corper physiotherapists, corper lab scientists, staff health workers etc to take care of the health of fellow Corp members. Apart from running camp clinic, corper nurses administer first aid, give medications, do wound dressing, and even administer vaccines to prevent epidemics in camp.

After the 3 weeks camping, corper nurses are posted to their places of primary assignment across all government approved health centres, big pharmacies, teaching hospitals, general hospitals, big laboratories, health research centres, sick bays in schools and so on..

Now let NIMEDHEALTH talk about the salary of NYSC corper nurses and allowances… How much are corper nurses paid in Nigeria?

Due to the now increased minimum wage, we all know that the Federal Government (FG) now pays every serving Corps member including doctors, nurses, pharmacists,and pharmacists the sum of N33,000 as monthly allowance. So, any other amount added to this figure has nothing to do with FG.

Also, you should know that NYSC Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health-related Corpers are being paid higher than others.

Now, the question is, who pay them since FG pays equal allowance to all Corps members?

The answer is straight forward, Corper nurses, doctors, medical lab scientists and corper pharmacists receive a relatively “juicy” state or PPA allowance for essential services rendered aside the normal N33,000 Naira allowance from the federal government.

The reason for this is simple, the NYSC Medical corps members work more in taking care of the sick and they are exposed to higher risk of contracting deadly diseases – as we speak, in the midst of a global pandemic of coronavirus, NYSC corper doctors and nurses are still out there taking care of the sick.

There are some health Corp members that had have contracted deadly disease in the past and even died in their line of service. So, they deserve to be treated well and paid better… especially for nurses and doctors.
