       Director-general of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.
       Zakari Kazaure, has reassured corps members of the upward review
       of their allowance, saying it would take effect with the new
       national minimum wage. Kazaure said efforts were being made to
       increase the monthly allowance currently at N19,800 while
       applauding them for service to their fatherland.
       Addressing the 2018 Batch B corps members yesterday at Bauchi
       State Orientation Camp in Wailo, Ganjuwa council, Kazaure urged
       them to Bauchi to be patient with government.
       The DG, who was represented by the scheme’s Director of General
       Duties, Habib Kurawa, commended corps members for the services
       they had been rendering to the country, especially in the area
       of education.
       Their contribution to national development is part of the
       reasons all efforts are in place to ensure that their allowance
       is increased, he noted.Informing them that the United Nations
       (UN) and other international agencies appreciate the role of
       NYSC members in their various places of primary assignments, he
       said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would
       engage them in the 2019 general election.
       Kazaure warned them to steer clear of electoral malpractices,
       but to be good ambassadors of the scheme.Urging the corps
       members not to be partisan while on electoral duty, he advised
       them to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the Bank
       of Industry (BoI) and others to secure loans for their
       entrepreneurship development.
       The state NYSC coordinator, Afolayan James, explained that 2,044
       corps members, comprising 1,186 males and 858 females, were
       registered in the state for the Batch ‘B’.He informed that
       Bauchi government officials visited the camp to see the damages
       caused by the recent rainstorm in the state and promised to
       repair the camp.
       Afolayan added that the corps members had received part of their
       allowances, assuring that they would be given the remaining
       before they leave the camp.
       “Management of the scheme has made arrangement for their
       training so that they can perform optimally during the service
       year. To this end, experts have been assembled to equip them
       with necessary skills for effective service delivery during the
       service year.
