Federal Government To Increase The Allowance Of corps Members
The Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Suleiman Kazaure says the increase in
corps members monthly allowance would be determined by the new national minimum wage ”when it takes effect September 2018.” The Director General said this on Monday while answering questions from journalists shortly after the swearing-in ceremony of the 2018 Batch ‘A’ corps members at the NYSC orientation camp in Kusalla, Karaye Local Government Area of Kano state. &nb
sp; According to him, “our efforts to ensure that the monthly allowance of the corps members is increased have yielded a very good result following series of discussion with the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige.” Mr Kazaure added that the N18,800 paid to them is grossly inadequate to cater for their needs during the mandatory one year service to the nation. The federal government had set-up a committee to look into the upward review of the minimum wage which he said will also determine the increase of the corps members’ allowance.
“We have been assured that when the new minimum wage takes effect, also the corps members allowance will be reviewed upward,” Mr Kazaure assured.
