NYSC Debunks News About Diversion Of April Allowances To COVID-19 As Fake

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has asked members not to believe the fake news going round that their monthly allowance for April and May would be diverted to fight covid-19.

NYSC on its Facebook page on Saturday, assured its members that payment of monthly stipend for April shall be effected without the usual gathering for clearance, due to the lockdown directive in force.

“Management wishes to advise all Corps Members to disregard the poorly written story in its entirety, as there is no iota of truth in it; the story emanated from a fake source,” it added.

NYSC also said that for now, the system shall generate automatic clearance for everyone.

“It is equally imperative to add that there shall not be Clearance for the month of May, 2020.”

NYSC further urged members to remain solution providers in their respective states while complying with covid-19 guidelines.

“Always stay tuned to our traditional and new media platforms for genuine information,” it added.
