‘We’ll tell NYSC corps members when they’ll start receiving N30,000’

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said the commencement of the payment of N30,000 new allowance would be communicated to the corps members.

The Director-General of the Corps, Shuaibu Ibrahim, made this known on Friday at a workshop/ training on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for Desk Officers of the NYSC in Abuja.

While answering question on the new allowance, the DG said, “they will be communicated accordingly, please.”

The workshop was aimed at consolidating on the successes recorded by the scheme regarding the use of the FOIA.

He added that the scheme was faced with challenges which include the apparent lack of knowledge of its policies and operations by a section of the public.

Ibrahim said: “Since the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act in 2011, the NYSC has been in the forefront of ensuring total compliance with the provisions of the Act.”
