BAD NEWS! NYSC Reveals It Cannot Pay N31,800 To Corpers

Eddy Megwa, a deputy director at the NYSC headquarters in Abuja, yesterday told reporters that the scheme is not aware of any plans by the Federal Government to pay serving corpers the rumored N31,800 allowee.

He stated that the scheme does not pay the corpers directly but the federal government, and that the only fee the body is aware that is being paid remains N19,800.

According to him,

“The NYSC does not pay corps members any sum of money directly as stipends but the federal government does. “Until the government is ready to implement the N30,000 minimum wage, we cannot say what corps members will earn for their service to the nation.

“Disregard any figure you find making the rounds on social media. When the federal government is ready, it will inform NYSC and we will announce it to corps members through official channels
