NEW MINIMUM WAGE: NYSC DG PROMISES INCREASED ALLOWANCE FOR CORP MEMBERS
Serving corps members have been informed that as soon as civil servants start receiving the new minimum wage as approved by the federal government, their monthly allowance will also increase.
The assurance was given by NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, while addressing corps members at Kebbi State Orientation Camp, Dakingari and Sokoto State Orientation Camp in Wamakko.
He said their selfless and immense contributions to the socio-economic development of the country cannot be underestimated.
However, the DG didn’t specify the amount that’ll be paid as a new allowance for the corp members.
General Ahmed also implored them to use the opportunity of the service year to develop themselves and plan for greater heights in future.
The director general further advised the corps members to embrace the NYSC skill acquisition and entrepreneurship development programme, to acquire vocational skills that will make them self-reliant.
