March allowance: NYSC explains delay

The management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, says it regrets the delay in the payment of March 2016 allowances of corps members, urging serving corps members to be patient.

The Director of Media of the scheme, Mrs. Bose Aderibigbe, in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, said it was liaising with the Federal Ministry of Finance to ensure the release of money for corps members’ allowances.

It assured the public, especially corps members that the scheme was discussing with the finance ministry to ensure that money was released for that purpose.

“The NYSC is expecting the money to be released through the Central Bank platform,” the statement said, reassuring all outgoing 2015 Batch ‘A’ corps members that their April allowances would be duly paid as soon as funds were released from the Ministry.

The statement urged corps members to remain calm and go about their lawful duties peacefully.
