…promises to expedite action
Authorities of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) say they are making frantic moves to facilitate the payment of delayed allowances for the month of June 2023 to corpers.
The NYSC Secretariat said the delays were caused by, “administration of funds by various banks”.
NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa said in a statement on Sunday, that the Scheme concluded arrangement for the payment of June allowance to corps members on June 27, 2023.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Scheme completed all arrangements for the payment of Corps Members’ allowance since 27th of June, 2023, and remittances made same day to various banks accordingly,” the statement read.
“The delay being currently experienced is due to the administration of funds by various banks who are yet to credit Corps Members’ accounts.
“In line with the above, NYSC Management is assiduously interfacing with the banks to fast track the payment of Corps Members’ June allowance without further delay.”
Megwa urged corps members to remain calm and law-abiding in their respective places of national service, as the scheme would continue to treat issues relating to their welfare with utmost priority.
