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!
Brig Gen Olawumi
DG NYSC
