The Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has assured Corps member that their monthly allowance would be increased immediately the Federal Government starts the payment of the new minimum wage to all public servants nationwide.
In a statement signed by Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, he gave the assurance on Monday while interacting with Corps Members during his working visit to Lagos State Orientation Camp, Iyana-Ipaja.
He said efforts were on top gear at all levels to ensure adequate welfare for all Corps Members.
He however, advised them not to embark on unauthorized journeys that may endanger their lives whereby such journey would also earn them sanctions from the NYSC.
He warned that violators of NYSC bye-laws would be dealt with in line with NYSC rules.
“Don’t debase yourselves, study the bye-law including the NYSC Act and be law-abiding. Don’t participate in politics, avoid religious and tribal differences”, he added.
Ibrahim also admonished the Corps Members to imbibe good morals and serve as responsible role models in their host communities.
He warned them to avoid rumour peddling through the Social Media but rather serve as agents of change and National unity.
