Some National Youth Service Corps members
serving in Oyo State have appealed to the state
government to pay nine months’ arrears of state
allowances owed them.
The members made the plea on Tuesday in
Ibadan.
The state government had promised to be
paying the sum of N4, 000 monthly to corps
members serving in the state.
A 2015/16 Batch B Corps Member, Miss Miracle
Onyekponwanne, said that she had not received
any payment since the inception of her service
in October 2015.
She said, “People like us teaching in schools do
not even have accommodation and it is
supposed to be the responsibility of the school
and government. So, we have to accommodate
ourselves and it has not been easy.
“With the situation of things in the country now,
the N19, 800 the Federal Government is giving
us is not even enough. We have to transport
ourselves and do other things.
“We will pass out in October, yet we have not
received anything. The government should
please pay us everything at once or even twice,
before we pass out.”
Also, Miss Oyinkansola Omotesho, of Batch B,
said “I have not received anything at all since I
started serving’’.
“It is better they tell us that they will not pay
the allowance so that we remove our mind from
it. We would have calculated what to use the
money for but our hope are being dashed out.
“They should please be checking how they pay
on the payroll because only few people received
once but those of us teaching in my school has
not received anything at all since 2015.”
Similarly, another Batch B member, Mr Meshach
Omaji, said he only received two months
allowance since October 2015, adding that other
batches had not received any at all.
“Since I started serving in November 2015, I
have only received twice. The first one was
meant for December, 2015 but the second one
was not stated, so I assumed it was for January
2016.
“I have not received any other one since then.
Maybe I received those ones because I am
serving with the state NYSC editorial
department.
“Most of my colleagues have not received any
since 2015.”
Another Corps member in a secondary school in
Saki, who preferred anonymity, said that the
state government had only paid the December
and January allowances.
Omaji, however, pleaded with the government to
pay the remaining allowance.
“The money should be for accommodation but
when we did not receive it, we had to source for
it from parents and relations.
“These are people we should even be giving
money; no matter how little, rather than them
giving us,’’ he said.
Efforts made to reach the Special Adviser to the
Governor on Communication and Strategy, Mr
Yomi Olayinka, failed.
