The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig Gen Yushau Ahmed, says the Federal government is set to increase the monthly allowance of the Corps members once the ongoing negotiations on the new minimum wage is completed.
Brig Gen Ahmed also warned the corps members against posting camp activities on social media saying that three corps members have just been expelled from the camp for flouting this camp rule.
The DG disclosed this while addressing 2762 corps members of Batch B, Stream one at Ogun State NYSC Orientation Camp, Sagamu on Saturday.
Ahmed congratulated the individuals for making it to the orientation camp as many of their colleagues had not been so lucky academically to have the privilege of being called a corps member.
He said, “Let me also remind you of the camp rules that you are not allowed to post the camp activities online or social media, three of your colleagues elsewhere were found breaking this rules posting camp activities on the social media and they have decamped.
“And for your allowance, don’t worry, as soon as the ongoing negotiation on the minimum wage is concluded, you can be so sure that your allowance too will definitely go up. There is no way government will forget you because you are really special.”
The DG who said he was highly impressed with the military skills displayed by the parade guard mounted for him, urged the youths to consider a career in the military.
