After several months of delay, of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) may have a reason to smile as the Federal Government on Monday promised to pay the backlog of the new ₦77,000 monthly allowance.

The Federal Government increased corps ’ allowance from ₦33,000 to ₦77, 000 in September 2024. Despite repeated promises and backlash since the increment, the new rate is yet to be implemented.

However, serving corps and those in the scheme when the increment was announced in September 2024 will receive a backdated payment.

The Minister of Youth Development Ayodele Olawande gave this assurance when he was featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“You saw the new DG saying that you will get it, and they’re asking him a question ‘What about those that are going out now, are they going to receive it [backlog]?’ He said ‘We have your details’,” the minister said.

“The backlog, we will work on it and make sure it is paid. It may not be immediate but it will happen,” [/b]Olawande assured.

‘It’s Seriously a Process’

[b]In September 2024, the Federal Government announced a new allowance for NYSC better known as corpers much to the excitement of the participants of the youth scheme.


The Federal Government said the increment was in line with the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.

Six months after the announcement, however, the implementation of the new allowance is yet to see the light of day despite repeated assurances from government authorities.

But last week, the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Olakunle Nafiu asked corps to expect the implementation of the new allowance in March, a move Olawande corroborated during the show.

“It will happen,” the minister said when asked if the corps would start getting now-delayed allowance from this month.

According to the minister, the delay in the implementation of the new NYSC ’ allowance is due to budgetary issues.

“I’ve explained this several times. Some people said, I always say ‘It is a process. It is a process.’ But it’s seriously a process. It’s a government line. You cannot do a corner piece to do it. It was not in the budget when the president announced it, and for some agencies and parastatals, you need your salary to be in the budget before it is paid,” the youth development minister said.

“Before anybody can approve anything, you must have a budgetary allocation for it. But the budgetary allocation has been done now. We are done with the process and it has been approved. It has been signed, and now they can start paying it.”

This is a nice one. Wisdom prevailed, else this istration would have fallen for their false flag.

The backlog shouldn't have happened anyways. These are Corp ; their needs should be prioritized always.

EponObi:
This is a false flag. Tinubu should wise up and deal with this situation with wisdom. This is another EndSars unrest arising and the mumudients movement and the zikists are all over it. Exact signature like the 2020 protest.

I trust the NSA and the presidency are capable and will handle things better than the Buhari istration.

EponObi:


Yeah, why I said Tinubu should apply wisdom. Implementing the immediate payment of the 77k is the way to go and the Tinubu media team should ignore whatever is being said by the opposition about the saga. The NYSC should also be allowed to handle the girl according to their rule.

I thought the FG already approved it months ago; I wonder why the corps member are yet to start receiving it.

Reminds me of Npower backlog those days. They will be be paid, but it will take time. The numbers to be paid are much...

This is the usual thing, I don't know why today guys are so impatient and lack respect. Every time Corpers' allawi increased by government, it usually takes some months before implementation and backlog are usually paid. Govt needs to find solution to that though.

This country has never seen the
such of irresponsible leadership like
the APC and especially Tinubu government.

You come up with thoughtless policies
that bring immediate suffering to citizens.

After pressure from labor organizations,
you then come up with palliatives & increase in salary for workers. But to pay na problem.

Palliatives and increases agreed since 2023
and 2024 are not being paid, or partially
paid and then stopped.

But Akpabio is there, giving N500m to
side chicks and Tinubu is building coastal
highway of almost 20 trillion.


❎❎❎❌❌❌❎❎❎❌❌❌❎❎❎


How can you approve a salary increase
in August and not have it in the budget
of the next year?

In fact, it could still have been implemented
last year by way of a supplementary budget.






However, to understand and flow with
APC, you must close your brain and
reason with your stomach...

Tinubu brought student loan, it's definitely more efficient and productive than SureP and Npower, those just empower their followers, student loan actually belongs to the student once eligible.
