Funds to pay corps members' new allowance not yet released – NYSC DG - The Round Table The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, declares the recent increase in corps members’ allowance has not been implemented due to funds.
This also trended:
The Round Table had said how the Federal Government concured the increment of corps members’ monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000, effective from July 2024.
The increment, according to a statement by the NYSC on its official Facebook page, was contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated September 25, 2024 and signed by the Chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta.
But despite the official announcement, the increment did not reflect on corps members’ September monthly allowance as they received N33,000 instead of an agreed N77,000.
But verbalizing to BBC Hausa service, the NYSC DG illuminated that although there was approval for the increment, government was yet to release funds to an intrigue for the implementation of the forward-looking allowance.
He said, “Not only the corps members, even our staff members’ salary has been increased about four to five months ago, but it has not been implemented yet. But we are hopeful that an innovative spend will be implemented soon, but the funds have not been released to us yet.
“The information we have did not specify when an advanced allowance will be paid, but we were assured that their monthly allowance has been increased from 29th July 2024.”
