The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) said there would be “a slight delay” in the payment of Corps members allowance for January 2016. The agency has further given explanation for the delay.
In a press statement issued out on Wednesday, the NYSC management explained that the delay of January allowance was due to disparities in logistics and planning details for 2016 from the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, the Ministry of Finance as well as the NYSC itself.
In this light, there have been continuous efforts to ensure the situation is addressed in order to facilitate the payment of January allowance to all corps members. It said: “Management regrets this delay, and is, therefore, working round the clock to ensure that all corps members receive their January allowance between now and next week.
It will be recalled recently, the NYSC ordered its staff to declare their assets, the Director-General of the NYSC, Johnson Olawunmi, ordered the personnel of the scheme to declare their assets in line with the code of conduct for public officers.
