The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has assured corps members of an increase in their monthly allowance. The DG said the allowance will be increased once civil servants begin receiving the newly approved minimum wage.
This was contained in a statement signed by NYSC’s acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.
Brigadier General Ahmed gave the assurance while addressing corps members at the Kebbi State Orientation Camp in Dakingari and the Sokoto State Orientation Camp in Wamakko.
The DG, therefore, called on the corps members to remain patient. He urged them to continue in their valuable contributions to the socio-economic development of the country. Ahmed also emphasized that their efforts are greatly appreciated.
The D-G encouraged the corps members to make the most of their service year by focusing on personal development and planning for future success.
Ahmed specifically advised them to participate in the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme. He said SAED offers vocational training and it is aimed at fostering self-reliance.
“Try to acquire skills that will enable you to create jobs and employ others instead of merely searching for jobs. Many ex-corps members across the country are thriving in their respective vocations today,” he said.
The DG reassured the corps members that the NYSC would not post anyone to locations where their safety could be compromised. He, therefore, advised them to always remain security-conscious.
