Yes, it's been confirmed by many ex-corps members with a receipt of the payment on X (formerly Twitter) that truly the Nigeria Federal Government has started paying the N44,00 arrears, tied to the recent minimum wage review, to Ex-NYSC Members. The payment applies to individuals who finished their service prior to the introduction of the new N77,000 allowance.
Several former corps members verified receiving the payment on X (previously Twitter). Some expressed their reactions:
@StarVibe9 said: “Big thanks to NYSC and President Tinubu. Nigeria’s future is bright!”
@MediGuru22 shared: “44k just hit my account. NYSC delivered! Bless Nigeria.”
@Temi_Bright posted: “Got my payment alert. Nearly closed my NYSC account. Grateful to FG!”

Yes, payment has started, but if you haven’t received yours yet (especially A2), don’t panic. Just like Allowee, there's a delay for some due to processing time.

According to NYSC Chronicles, if you're still among the categories of members that haven't received the arrears payment, then it's probably due to some processing time required just like Allowee. It's wise to exercise some patience and follow the FG portals for latest updates regarding the matter.
This payment follows the recent increase in corps members' monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000 earlier this year. This payment is strictly for those who finished their service before the new allowance took effect. It covers the shortfall between the old and new rates.
Let's know in the comments section if you've gotten your own pay.
