Edo NYSC Punishes Corps With 90-Day Extension For Protesting Unpaid N77,000 Allowance In WhatsApp Group.

Edo State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs. s Ben-Ushie, has extended the service year of over 30 corps by 90 days without pay, SaharaReporters has learned.

The affected corps , who completed their mandatory one-year service on March 17, 2025, were issued a "Notification of Extension of Service" instead of their NYSC Discharge Certificates.

Reports indicate that the extension serves as a penalty for their complaints about the non-payment of their N77,000 allowance, which they had shared in a WhatsApp group.

Sources revealed that an NYSC official initially created the WhatsApp group, where corps voiced their grievances. The group, managed by an anonymous under the title "Group Update on 77k Allowance," became a platform for discussions about the unpaid stipends.

"We were now discussing it and pouring out our grievances. After a few days, we were summoned individually to the Department of State Services (DSS) office and the NYSC Secretariat for interrogation afterwards. Nothing happened since then.

"Just last week, on the day of the ing-out parade, I was told I had an extension of service for exercising my fundamental human rights through a WhatsApp discussion and some posts titled ‘FG, pay us our 77k allawee (allowance) -33k is not substantial.’ That is all, and before we knew it, an extension of service awaits us," said one of the affected corps .

One of the affected corps was issued a query letter on September 6, 2024, for allegedly inciting fellow corps to protest against the NYSC scheme and the Federal Government.
The letter demanded that the corps member explain why severe disciplinary action should not be taken against him.

Following this, the corps were individually summoned for questioning at the Department of State Services (DSS) office and the NYSC Secretariat. However, no immediate action was taken until they were later notified of a service extension.

In subsequent extension letters, the NYSC cited their alleged involvement in online incitement to protest as the reason for the decision. The corps have been directed to report to the Head of Community Development and Relief (CD&R) at the NYSC Secretariat to begin their extended service period.

The September 6, 2024 letter stated: "Despite repeated warnings and reminders from Management to utilize only approved channels of communication to air grievances or position on any matter, you have chosen to disregard this directive, by inciting other Corps to engage in protest against the Scheme and the Federal Government of Nigeria, with respect to Corps ' allowance. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

"Consequently, you are hereby requested to explain in writing, why severe disciplinary action should not be taken against you for your involvement online, in inciting other Corps to protest, contrary to Schedule 1, Paragraph 11 (iii) on page 15 and Schedule 2, Paragraph 1 (m) on page 18 of the NYSC Bye-Laws.

"Your representation must reach the undersigned within 24 hours of receipt of this letter." However, the service extension letter, dated March 17, 2025, titled "Notification of Extension of Service," partly stated:

"I write to inform you that consequent upon your involvement in online incitement of other Corps to protest against the Scheme and the Federal Government, the CDC has recommended the extension of your service by 90 days, in accordance with schedule 1, Article 11, (iii) on page 15 and Schedule 2, Article 1 (m) on page 18 of the NYSC Bye-Laws.

"Accordingly, your Certificate of National Service (CNS), will not be released until you have served the required number of days for which your service has been extended.”

"You are to report to the Head of CD&R at the NYSC Secretariat whenever you are ready to commence the extension of service," the letter partly read.

Just 90 days without pay, these ones are lucky, a child that is not trained at home, it is from outside he/she will collect home training. You're not the ones that forced the Government to make an announcement of 70,000. Civil service are collecting 70k, while the Govt generously increased your own to 77k, but you think you can arm twist the Government when to start paying you based on your own by inciting other corp in a WhatsApp group to revolt.
These ill- trained GenZ allowing some devils from outside be pushing them foolishly. Now, you have to serve for extra 3months and you won't collect that 77k for the period. What would they even do with the 77k, aside buying wigs, buying data for TikTok, going to ts and all sorts, only a few of them have sense when it comes to money.
You see that spoilt brat serving in Lagos, insulting Lagos and doing 30 days rant challenge, that one go collect her own too after service. It will be another fresh one year service for her. I don't have pity for ill mannered, disrespectful and foolish kids.

An APC state

It is crazy that there are people who think like this in 2025. Displaying foolishness while calling well-educated kids who know their rights foolish...lol

One thing is certain. The corps who protested will never be the kind of people to eat crumbs off another person's table.

Tyranny, Abuse of power, oppression, etc. These are the trademarks of this government

Go to the United States and insult Trump or criticize him if dem born una well.

I love this, these guys think they can hide under social media and some election losers that turned to overnight activists to exhibit indiscipline in NYSC. They think Government will bow to pressure and let go of their indiscipline, they were mistaking. We have employers and no employers tolerate indiscipline, that's why you either comply with the rules or you quit.


-Kiss the truth!

God bless Edo State for this. Awon omo k'omo.

She will collect for sure.

That is what happens when you vote an illiterate into power. Thou NYSC is FG, State coordinator can't try this in Dr. Alex Otti's state

I can not imagine that people will injustice because of politics

Same people whose children will grow and meet same situation.

That is why when you see some elders behave in a way just know that fools grow old.

You punished corpers for asking for their entitlement and with this wicked act you are trying to silence others from talking.

This istration is worse than military regime, they do anything to silence you from venting your frustrations or talking bad about the government.

this, you will never be in power forever.

Karma will catch up on all of you including your ers, ba$tards!

Only thing this useless government is known for is suppressing the rights of it's citizens. Useless government led by a more useless clown.

Useless man couldn't pay 77k until he and his failed istration were called out.

APC captured state.

this government makes me understand that some people from Southwest don't have brain🙆

A

If you are not ready to pay 77k immediately why announcing it? You expected them to keep quiet while you go around bragging that Corpers are now receiving 77k? Now you are punishing them for asking for what was promised them?..some people above are blaming them? The oppression in Nigeria is too much
We are not serious in this country.

You're of all things the most useless of them all.

So she has no right to complain?

I use to think I've seen the worse of stupidity with Nigerians, but it's like it gets upgraded every market day! Yoruba APC Tinubu ers are even worse than Buhari ers in the North.

They protested due to hunger and we can see, their is famine and insecurity

Useless corpers. Useless Nigerians. Led like useless sheep to the slaughter. Your silences will not protect you.... What are the words you do not yet have? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? You have been socialized to respect fear more than your own need for liberty. Cursed country. Cursed people.
