NYSC members

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday described reports on social media reports that it has slashed corps members’ allowance by 25 per cent as false.

NYSC’s Director of Press, Bose Aderibigbe, said in Abuja the allowance of corps members remained N19,800, and not N14,800 as published by the social media.

She added that the Director-General of NYSC, Sule Kazaure, had not made any comments regarding allowances of corps members as claimed in the publication.

Mrs. Aderibigbe  reiterated the commitment of the scheme to the welfare of all corps members and urged corps members and the public to ignore what she called “the misleading information”. (NAN)
