Management of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has denied report alleging that corps members’ stipend for both June and July would be paid together, saying all qualified corps members will be paid allowance for the month of June, while in addition, those passing out from service in July will receive July stipend as well as transport allowance.
The scheme in a statement signed by the director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, Monday in Abuja said the the release did not emanate from the NYSC, adding that it is the handiwork of mischief makers, bent on deceiving corps members and should be disregarded in its entirety.
“Management hereby states that the release did not emanate from the NYSC. It is the handiwork of mischief makers, bent on deceiving corps members and should be disregarded in its entirety.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all qualified corps members shall be paid allowance for the month of June, while in addition, those passing out from service in July shall receive July stipend, as well as transport allowance,” she said
Adeyemi appeals to purveyors of fake news to refrain from the ungodly act.
She, therefore, enjoined all corps members to always stay in touch with the scheme’s official sources (social/mainstream media) for authentic information.
