The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said the delay in the payment of June allowance of serving corps members was due to the administration of funds by various banks that are yet to credit the corps members’ accounts.
In a statement over the weekend in Abuja by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, the NYSC urged all corps members to remain calm, law-abiding and dutiful in their places of national service.
It promised to treat issues on their welfare with utmost priority.
The statement reads: “The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) wishes to state that it is aware of worries and agitations by corps members over the delay in the payment of their June 2023 monthly allowance.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the scheme completed all arrangements for the payment of corps members’ allowance since June 27, 2023, and remittances made the same day to various banks accordingly. The delay being currently experienced is due to the administration of funds by various banks that 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.
“All corps members are enjoined to remain calm, law-abiding and dutiful in their respective places of national service as the scheme will continue to treat issues relating to their welfare with utmost priority.”
