THE Director-Genral of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga, has assured that the Federal Government will look into better welfare and security for corps members posted to various states of the country.

The NYSC boss, speaking with journalists after the opening ceremony of the NYSC 2010 Batch “B” pre-orientation course workshop which was held on Wednesday at Maiduguri International Hotel, Borno State, on the need for increase in corps members allowances, assured that whatever he took to the president, in terms of welfare and security, would be looked into.

“When I observed this issue of welfare particularly, I wrote a letter to Salary and Wages Commission. I wrote a letter to them and not only the letter, I recommended that corps members’ allowances should be looked at, as Grade Level 7, Step 1, which is equivalent to about N28,000 to N29,000.

“I am assuring you that by the special grace of God, as the federal workers are getting increase in their salaries and allowances, the corps members are also going to gain more than even the workers,” he said.

The state governor, Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff, also promised to improve on the welfare of corps members posted to various councils in the state.

Governor Sheriff said during his tour of the 27 local government areas of the state, he observed that corps members were doing well in their places of assignments, adding that he saw them everywhere, rendering services to the people in their locality.

The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Ambassador Baba Jidda, at the workshop, said the corps members deserved the best in return for their service in the state.

Governor Sheriff said he would continue to appreciate the achievements of the scheme in the state, while he also called on the Federal Government to reposition the scheme by ensuring better remuneration or allowances for corps members.

Whats the point of increased wages if innocent girls are ra'ped to death for wearing trousers by those who feel that women are second class humans? Security is more important; it is an urgent matter that needs to be addressed by more than just the odd, vague reference.

This is bad news, scrap the shit called NYSC.

Just a ploy to make student more interested in NYSC, they are always looking to increase civil service salary, nysc benefits blah blah blah

Na 2 day Yash dey back

If this is true,i better go for NYSC the second time,

wats d worst dat can hppen n the place of prmary asinmt highest thy will just complain , bos we work too much 4 a corper

PURE POLITICAL RANTS! Nothing good will ever come out of notice me talk. It just a propaganda.

I never heard of a pre-orientation course workshop before now, at the Maiduguri Int'l Hotel? Hmm. . . !

But really, they should just announce the increment, not their 'intention' to 'look into' the matter. We all know we have hypocrites and rogues in positions of power and I feel the statement was just for its apparently calming effect on corpers to be posted to that state - wasnt it the same state a corper was murdered sometime ago?

Bottom-line they should scrap the da.mn scheme because:
[list]
[li]It hasnt achieved any positive purpose in its 37 years - still no national integration[/li]
[/list]

But I know they wont because:
[list]
[li]It is a sure and regular conduit of diverting and distributing govt funds into private pockets - didnt they just start a Batch 'C'?[/li]
[/list]

If you have a different view then I guess it would be safe to assume youre chopping from the NYSC cake too.

that will be very very nice. as for those who are against it, i suggest u have a rethink. try to accept good things alright.

Rubbish! just months after my passing out that is when this dude wanna implement this.

well I overheard someone saying if they increased it, they would go back to NYSC and beg to be retained as a corper since there ain't any job around.
as least it is better than nothing.

what do y'all think?

hey! i cant wait 4 the money to come. hope it will also affect the pay of this nysc batch a,2010? its bitter for corpers when i see them trekking on the road in villages. really this citizens work so hard for nigeria,but they recieve the lowest pay,not enough to even buy soap monthly.please i thank the government for thinking of increasing their monthly allowance. may god in his infinite mercy bless you and the president and this country,nigeria.

Ghost NYSC go plentyoo if the thing works out

fellow corpers,please be nice 4 once,stop talking jagons. which one is ghost corpers again? dont use ur own words to spoil the mind of the government towards increament of our allowances,u need it just as i do. just keep hands crossed and pray that God should use his servant president Goodluck, to help us.

Exemption letters go decrease o!,many people go wan serve o.

Learnt it's starting wif the current batch B!
Gosh , can't wait to bag dat as well , including dat of ma place of primary assignment,
I dey aim one kind picanto by the end of this year,

I beg them don start to dey pay the 28k?

that is more than what I got for a whole year. I did not even get half of that. We were paid , I think N600 per month or so then. which comes up to N7200 in one years. no you people are getting N28,000  . we were paid below minimum wage in nigeria.
