The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has clarified that the delay in the payment of the approved ₦77,000 monthly allowance to corps members was not intentional.
NYSC gave the explanation as corps members were paid ₦33,000 against ₦77,000 the federal government promised for February.
NYSC’s acting spokesperson, Mrs. Carol Lembu, in a WhatsApp conversation with SaharaReporters on Monday morning, stated that the scheme was still awaiting the necessary cash backing from the federal government.
