The National Youth Service Corps has revealed the reason behind the delay in the payment of June allowance to corps members.
According to the sheme, the problem lies with the banks, since all payment agreements have been concluded since June 27.
The Director of press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa in a statement released on Sunday through their official Facebook Page @National youth service corps said that the NYSC management is interfacing with banks to fast track the payment of corp members June allowance without any further delays.
He said: “The Management of National Youth Service Corps wishes to state that it is aware of worries and agitations by corps members over the delay in the payment of their June 2023 monthly allowance.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the scheme completed all arrangements for the payment of corps members’ allowance since June 27, 2023, and remittances were made the same day to various banks accordingly.
“The delay being currently experienced is due to the administration of funds by various banks who are yet to credit Corps Members’ accounts.
“In line with the above, NYSC management is assiduously interfacing with the banks to fast-track the payment of corps members’ June allowance without further delay.”
He however appealed to corps members to “remain calm, law-abiding and dutiful in their respective places of national service as the scheme will continue to treat issues relating to their welfare with maximum priority.”
