The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has provided an explanation for the delay in the payment of the June monthly allowance to corps members across the country.
The NYSC management stated that despite completing all necessary arrangements for the payment on June 27, the delay is due to the administration of funds by various banks, which are yet to credit the accounts of corps members.
NYSC Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, said in a statement;
“The Management of National Youth Service Corps wishes to state that it is aware of worries and agitations by corps members over the delay in the payment of their June 2023 monthly allowance.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the scheme completed all arrangements for the payment of corps members’ allowance since June 27, 2023, and remittances were made the 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.
“Corps members should 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”.
