NYSC Explains Delay In Corps Members January Allowance.

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.
