NYSC DG Debunks Report on Corpers’ Allowance, Disowns
Fake Twitter Account
The Director-General of the National Youths Service Corps
(NYSC), Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, has debunked the information
that corps members will start receiving the new minimum wage amount
as their monthly allowance this month.
Brig. Gen. Ibrahim told PRNigeria that the NYSC management is
yet to receive any directive from the government concerning the
issue of minimum wage or increment in corps members’ allowance.
The Act establishing the NYSC Scheme stipulates that corps
members should earn at least the minimum wage.
“When there is an increment and we have been notified, we will
communicate the heartwarming decision to our corps members through
appropriate channels. And certainly, the management will make sure
that our corps members are paid according to the new increment.” he
said.
The NYSC boss, urged the general public to disregard fake
Twitter posts bearing his identity, which have been circulating on
social media.
He said those secretly operating the Twitter handles
‘mischievously, wickedly and intentionally’ want to smear his
personality and exalted office in general.
He appealed to corps members to use verifiable social media
accounts of the scheme when seeking information to avoid been
misinformed by purveyors of fake news.
