New Allowance Coming For Corps Members- DG NYSC
By: Eda Date: April 24, 2018, 6:01 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),
Sulaimon Kazaure, has said that the allowance being currently
paid to corps members monthly is inadequate to provide for their
needs.
Kazaure revealed while speaking with journalists on Monday in
Kano state after the swearing-in ceremony of the 2018 Batch ‘A’
corps members.
The DG said that there was a plan to increase monthly allowance
of corps members.
He said, “Our efforts to ensure that the monthly allowance of
the 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,”[/quote]
