NYSC DG Reveals When Corps Members’ Allowance Will Be Increased
The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brig. Gen. Sale Zakari Kazaure, says corps members’ allowance would be increased after the implementation of the new minimum wage of civil servants.
Kazaure made the disclosure while addressing 2018 batch ‘B’ (stream II) corps members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku, Delta State.

The NYSC boss was reacting to reports of increment in the monthly allowances of serving corps members.
According to him, corps members were not “different from civil servants, so whenever the minimum wage of civil servants is increased, increment in corps members’ allowance will automatically be effected.”
He noted that the Corp is working closely with relevant security agencies to ensure the safety of corps members in their various places of primary assignments.
He called on corps members to “maintain neutrality if they are called upon as ad-hoc workers for the 2019 general elections.”

“Anywhere you find yourselves, be neutral. Also be good ambassadors and be patriotic to your country. Anyone found wanting will be dealt with,” Kazaure added.
