stated as false information making
round that the allowance due to corps
members that participated in the 2015
General Elections was N53,500.00.
“The attention of the NYSC
Management has been drawn to an
online publication misinforming Corps
members that the allowance due to
them for participation in the 2015
General Elections is N53,500.00. The
originator of the false publication is
also mobilizing them to shun the next
election on 11 April unless this total
sum is fully paid.
“Our preliminary investigation has so
far indicated that this publication did
not emanate from our Corps members
and it is a mischievous circulation by
some unscrupulous elements to
discourage Corps members from
participating in the next election for
whatever reasons best known to them.
“To correct the misinformation,
Management hereby wishes to put the
record straight for public awareness
and restate to Corps members in clear
terms their true entitlement for the
elections. The allowances for each
Corps member is as follows:
“Training allowance of Four Thousand
Five Hundred Naira (N4,500.00) only
paid directly by INEC to Corps
members for the training held before
elections.
“For each of the two elections, a Corps
member is entitled to a sum of
N13,000.00 only which breaks down to
N9,000.00, N3,000.00 and N1,000.00
for honoraria, transportation and
feeding respectively. This implies that
for the two elections, the total
allowance due to each Corps member
is N26,000.00 only,” it said.
It added that the fund for these was
approved by INEC and remitted directly
into each of the NYSC state
Secretariat’s account a week before the
Presidential and National Assembly
Elections.
The statement revealed that the
amount of N13,000.00 for the
Presidential and National Assembly
Elections has been paid and urged
Corps member who could not receive
the payment to make complaint
through the necessary channels.
“Also, Management has directed that
the N13,000 allowance for the 11 April
Gubernatorial and State Assembly
Elections should be paid in advance by
all NYSC State Secretariats latest by
Friday 10 April 2015,” it said.
It however warned that Corps members
who was suppose to participated in the
April 11 election and opted out after
receiving the advance payment, the
paid amount will be deducted from
their April 2015 monthly allowance.
