NYSC allowance ’ll be N50,000 soon -DG

THE Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General, Ismaila Maharazu Tsiga, has said the leadership of the NYSC  would continue to lobby government  on the need to increase corps members’ allowance  to N50, 000 per month, adding that the  new allowance of N19, 800 to corps members would take effect from March this year.

This is just as the Tsiga disclosed that the allowance given to corps members was a right and not a privilege, calling on states, local governments and parastatals to also review allowance given to corps members

He further said that anybody making live unbearable for corps members would received negative  treatment  from the Almighty God because they were innocent Nigerians serving their fatherland.

According to him , the new allowance would be paid in arrears from March, 2011, saying that Batch B, 2010 corps members who just passed out, are going to receive their arrears of about four months.

Brigadier General, Tsiga, speaking during his visit to the Kano State orientation camp on Saturday, also said the security of lives and property of corps members was paramount to him, assuring parents of corps members that the NYSC would ensure that the lives of their children were saved.

He however disclosed that it was not NYSC’s desire to redeploy corps members but that the organisation was compelled to see to their security because NYSC does not want innocent corps members to suffer where they serve their fatherland.
