THE National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday said Corps members allowance will be increased as soon as the Federal Government begins payment of the new minimum wage to public servants across the country.
The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim gave the assurance on Monday while interacting with Corps Members during his working visit to Lagos State Orientation Camp, Iyana-Ipaja.
In a statement issued and signed by the Director of Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, the DG said efforts are in place at all levels to ensure adequate welfare for all Corps Members.

However, he advised them not to embark on an unauthorised journey that may endanger their lives stressing that such journey would earn them sanctions from the NYSC.
He warned that violators of NYSC bye-laws would be dealt with in line with NYSC rules.
“Don’t debase yourselves, study the byelaw including NYSC Act and be law-abiding. Don’t participate in politics, avoid religious and tribal differences,” he added.
Ibrahim also admonished the Corps Members to imbibe good morals and serve as responsible role models in their host communities.
