Some of the 1,871 outgoing members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Batch B in Ekiti State, yesterday, protested alleged failure of Ekiti State Government to pay their three months allowance.
This came as no fewer than 1,871 Batch B corps members participated in the passing out parade at Christ School Playing Ground, Ado-Ekiti.
