The Director-General of the
National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC), Brig. Gen. Shuaibu
Ibrahim, has dismissed reports that
it will start paying corps members
N30,000 allowance this July. Speaking on Wednesday, Ibrahim
revealed that the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration is yet to give NYSC
a go-ahead on the implementation
of the new national minimum wage. According to the NYSC DG, “When there is an increment and we
have been notified, we will
communicate the heartwarming
decision to our corps members
through appropriate channels. “And certainly, the management
will make sure that our corps
members are paid according to
the new increment.” He urged corps members to only
source information from the NYSC
verified social media accounts.
