The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said the delay in the payment of June allowance of serving corps members was due to the administration of funds by various banks who are yet to credit the corps members’ accounts.
The agency said it completed all arrangements for the payment of corps members allowances from June 27 and remitted it to various banks the same day.
The NYSC gave the clarification in a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa on Sunday in Abuja.
The NYSC enjoined all corps members to remain calm, law-abiding and dutiful in their respective places of national service as it would continue to treat issues relating to their welfare with utmost priority.
