The National Youth Service Corps on Monday denied the reports that it had slashed the allowances of corps members by 25 percent.
A statement by the spokesperson for the NYSC, Mrs. Abosede Aderibigbe, in Abuja, said the allowance of corps members has not ch from N19,800 and it was not reduced to N14,800.
She said, “The management of the NYSC therefore proved wrong the report of the mischievous information flowing in the social media to the effect that corps members’ allowance has been reduced N14,800. In the first instance, the document quoted a ‘Brigadier General Bamidele Oluwami’, the purported NYSC Director-General, as the source of its information.
“The NYSC vehemently dissociates itself from this wicked falsehood meant to create confusion in the polity. The Director-General of the NYSC is Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure and he never made any comment as claimed by the brains behind the damaging publication.
The management hereby categorically states that corps members’ allowance remains N19,800. For the avoidance of doubt, we unequivocally restate our unalloyed commitment to the welfare of all corps members at all times.
Corps members and the public should therefore ignore this misleading information and go about their duties lawfully without fear.
