The Director-General, National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. Gen. Johnson
Olawumi, has revealed that the scheme is
working with the National Salaries and
Wages Commission (NSWC) to place corps
members on a public service salary scale
as the current N19,800 monthly allowance
for corps members is inadequate in view of
current economic realities in Nigeria.
He said that the board is working
closely with the wages commission to
concretise the proposal in order to stop the
frequent agitation for a review of corps
members’ allowances.
Olawumi noted that the series of attempts
made by the scheme to secure adjustment
in the allowances of corps members at the
National Assembly did not yield the desired
result.
He however urged corps members to
conduct themselves in a matured manner
during elections and avoid collecting any
form of inducement from politicians.
