We’ve Not Received Directive To Pay Youth Corps Members New Minimum Wage –  DG

The Director-General of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has made it clear that the Service has not received directive to pay corps members the new minimum wage of N30,000.

Brigadier General Ibrahim said 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.”
The NYSC boss advised Nigerians to disregard fake Twitter posts bearing his identity, which have been circulating on social media, saying that those who are 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.
