The Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has said all funds for the payment of allowances of all National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) members and ad-hoc workers engaged for the 2015 general elections have been released to those affected.

The Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr
Kayode Idowu, stated this in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in
Abuja.

Kayode said it was possible for some of ad-hoc
workers not to have received their money due to
error in the bank account details submitted for the
payment of such allowances.

He said that for the corps members, their money
was paid directly to the NYSC scheme even before
the elections.
“This was acknowledged by the Director-General of
the NYSC on the day INEC and officials of the
directorate held a joint news briefing.
“The D-G actually stated that the monies for corps
members have been paid to the scheme, for
onward payment to the corps members as agreed.
“They were to be paid an initial sum before the
election and the balance after the election. I am
very sure that the directorate has done that.
“For the non-NYSC members, they were requested
to submit their account details and they were also
paid an initial amount and then the balance after
the exercise. It is very likely that, this had been
done,’’ Idowu said.

He, however, admitted that there were isolated
reports that some ad-hoc workers had not been
paid their allowances.

Idowu said he had spoken with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) of the affected
states, including Lagos, on the matter, saying most
of the outstanding cases were due to challenges
associated with submitted account details.

He said while it was compulsory to pay the money
through the bank, it was possible that some of the
submitted bank accounts may not be active.
“I also heard a REC speaking on television
explaining that people should bring their account
details as some of the details submitted were not
valid or correct which created a challenge in
accessing the accounts for payment.

I have heard cases that some people will write their
names but filled in their fathers account, such
account cannot be accessed because it is not the
father’s name that was there but theirs.
“That is why they had the challenge otherwise the
money had been paid out by the commission.’’

Also asked if the commission actually experienced
any financial challenge in the conduct of the 2015
general election, Idowu said that the budgeted
money was provided before the election.

My first thougt too when i saw the post

If you people have disbursed the fund as claimed, then who is withholding the money meant for the ad hoc staff?...

The REC and EO are hoarding and diverting the money, affected people should match down to the INEC LG offices and protest. This country does not like gentleman behavior.

It is state officials, despite submitting account details they insist on cash payments then names of those who worked mysteriously disappears then the names of their relations and girl friends enters.

Port Harcourt LG is a case study

Its so annoying that INEC won't just state how much is the allowance due the adhoc staffs...smh

Its confusing and deliberately too they are paying in tranches and different groups.

For non corpers they have paid only training. Corpers were paid before and after but yesterday some corpers that worked said monies paid into their account has been withdrawn.

But they fail to state the amount they paid especially to the Non-NYSC adhoc staff.

In Akwa Ibom, we got N12k and N9k for for the Presidential and guber elections respectively.

REC's don chop the money.Buhari is coming to deal with them soon

I doubt that pay. Total of 21k for both elections? "Dem forget piss for dere head"

What's the doubt about? I said we got that means I was among the ad hoc staff and that was what we received.
