The board of the National Youth Service Corps has assured corpers of the payment of June allowances.
In a statement, signed by Eddy Megwa, the Director, Press and Public Relations of the Scheme, the board acknowledged the inconvenience the delay may have caused the corpers.
The Corps explained that it had made arrangements for June salaries on June 27 and sent them to various banks for payment, adding that the delay is an aftermath of the administration of funds.
According to the statement, “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 delay being currently experienced is due to the administration of funds by various banks who are yet to credit Corps Members’ accounts.
“In line with the above, NYSC Management is assiduously interfacing with the banks to fast track the payment of Corps Members’ June allowance without further delay.
“All Corps Members are enjoined to remain calm, law-abiding and dutiful in their respective places of national service as the Scheme will continue to treat issues relating to their welfare with utmost priority.”
