New Allowance Coming for Corps Members – DG NYSC
Sulaimon Kazaure the Director-General of National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has hinted of the plans to increase monthly
allowance of corps members in the country.
He stated that the allowance being currently paid to
corps members is inadequate to provide for their needs.
Kazaure revealed while speaking with journalist in
Kano State after the swearing-in-ceremony of the 2018 Batch ‘A’ Corps members.
Kazaure said, “our efforts to ensure that the monthly
allowance of corps members is increased have yielded a very good result
following series of discussion with the Minister of Labour and Productivity,
Chris Ngige.
The N18,800
paid to Corps members is grossly inadequate to cater for their needs during the
mandatory one-year service to the nation.
“The federal government had set up a committee to look
into the upward review of the minimum wage which will determine the increase of
the corps members’ allowance”.
“We have been assured that when the new minimum wage
takes effect, also the corps members allowance will be reviewed upward” Mr
Kazaure assured.
