The Director General (DG) of
National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, has assured
corps members that their monthly allowance of N19,800 would be reviewed upward.
Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, NYSC
Director of Press and Public Relations, in a statement on Monday said Ibrahim,
who gave the assurance while interacting with corps members during a working
visit to Lagos, promised that their allowance would be increased immediately
the Federal Government commenced payment of the new minimum wage.
Adeyemi said the NYSC boss had
also promised corps members across the country improved welfare.
“He said efforts are in top gear
at all levels to ensure adequate welfare for all corps members.
“He, however, advised them not to
embark on unauthorised journeys that may endanger their lives, warning that
such journeys would earn them sanctions from the corps.
“He warned that violators of NYSC
bye-laws would be dealt with in line with its rules,” NAN quoted him as saying.
She also said that Ibrahim had
warned the corps members to avoid issues that would promote political,
religious and tribal differences, but instead work to unite the country.
According to her, Ibrahim also admonished
the corps members to imbibe good morals and serve as responsible role models in
their host communities.
He warned them to avoid rumour
peddling through the Social Media but rather serve as agents of change and
national unity.
