NYSC DG explains why March allowance has not been paid

The Director General of NYSC, Brig Gen Olawumi
this morning released a statement explaining
why the March allowance to Youth Corps
members have not been paid. Read his
statement below
My dear Corps members, l sincerely
regret the late payment of your March
allowance. For avoidance of doubt, your
allowances do not come to the NYSC as
the scheme has no account. Once it is
approved by the Federal Ministry of
Finance, it goes to the Central Bank
account from where it is disbursed
directly to Corps members account.
It is the beauty of the Treasury Single
Account and that explains why you get
the whole allowance in full without any
charges. As at now, we are liaising
vigorously with the Ministry so that fund
is released to the CBN GIFMIS account
and once it is done, it takes us just
minutes through the online platform to
remit straight to all the 244,532 Corps
members in service. We are equally
mounting pressure on the Ministry to
ensure that the April allowance for 2015
Batch A and the outstanding one month
allowance for Stream 2, Batch A 2015 is
also paid as quickly as possible. It has
become necessary to explain this so as
to clear the erroneous believe that the
Scheme is holding Corps members
allowance. Please just exercise patience
as this will be resolved in a couple of
days. God bless you my children!
