No Official Directive To Start Paying N70,000 Minimum Wage - NYSC

 RE: UPGRADING CORPS MEMBERS ACCOUNT TO ACCOMMODATE #70,000 MINIMUM WAGE 

The attention of National Youth Service Corps Management has been drawn to a misleading information circulating in the media regarding payment of #70, 000  minimum wage to Corps Members and the directive to upgrade their accounts. This is absolute falsehood which is far from the truth.

Corps Members, parents and members of the public should note that no directive has been received from the relevant sector of government responsible for wages matters. It is therefore impossible for the NYSC to issue any information on such. 

Corps Members already know the approved channel and mode of communication in the Scheme and should therefore ignore the directive accordingly. 

The NYSC by this release therefore admonishes Corps Members to desist from allowing mischief makers who are set to mislead Nigerians from continuing to play on their intelligence. 

Bloggers and social media influencers are warned to stop issuing statements that concerns the management of National Youth Service Corps without authorization.
