The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has said Corps members will benefit from the new minimum wage, only if approved.
Ahmed during his visit to the Ogun State Orientation Camp in Sagamu said contrary to news making the rounds that the President has already approved an increment in corps members’ allowances, the benefit is contingent on the approval of the minimum wage.
Ahmed advised corps members to remain focused on their service and not be distracted by misinformation, appealing to the press to be factual in their reportage of NYSC activities, so as not to incite unnecessary apprehension among the Scheme’s stakeholders.
The visit was part of his oversight functions to ensure the smooth conduct of the orientation exercise and to interact with corps members.
