The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Management says the delayed of monthly allowance of corps members in June 2023 is being addressed.

The Management of National Youth Service Corps stated that it is aware of worries and agitations by Corps Members over the delay in the payment of their June 2023 monthly allowance.

Eddy Megwa, NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, said in a statement on Sunday that the scheme has finalized arrangements for the payment of June allowance to corps members on June 27, 2023.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Scheme completed all arrangements for the payment of Corps Members’ allowance since 27th of June, 2023, and remittances made same day to various banks accordingly,” the statement partly read.

“The delay being currently experienced is due to the administration of funds by various banks who are yet to credit Corps Members’ accounts”.

The statement notes that NYSC Management is assiduously interfacing with the banks to fast track the payment of Corps Members’ June allowance without further delay.

The NYSC spokesperson urged corps members to remain calm and law-abiding in their respective places of national service as the scheme will continue to give priority to their welfare.
