The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Suleiman Kazaure On Monday debunked rumours of an increase in corps members’ monthly allowance, stressing that an increment would only happen when there is a corresponding review of the national minimum wage.

General Kazaure, who spoke to journalists in Issele Uku community at the Delta State NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, during his visit to the camp, assured that the increment may be feasible in the future, stressing that the lingering rumours were unfounded because the NYSC scheme is akin to the public Service.

On safety of the NYSC members during the 2019 elections, he said that the NYSC was working closely with the independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and all the security agencies, even as he assured that the security of corps members was guaranteed.

General Kazaure called on the corps members to shun drug abuse, advanced fee fraud and other malpractices capable of truncating their future, maintaining that they should remain partisan and neutral in the course of their national assignment in elections.

While urging the corps members to be detribalised, he called on them to also resist any financial inducement that would buy their conscience, adding that they should always remember that “there is no immunity for corps members”.

On the corps members’ frequent travels by roads, General Kazaure said, “The Management of NYSC frowns at the frequent traveling of corps members. It has in the recent times, recorded deaths among our corps members,I want to use this medium to appeal to our corps members to stop frequent traveling on the roads via commercial vehicles. Most of the drivers drink before driving. There should be limits to our traveling outside the camps. We have set up committee to monitor Corps members traveling frequently, and bring them to book”.

He however commended the corps members for their good conduct since the commencements the combined orientation exercise that has accommodated corps members deployed to Delta, Edo and Bayelsa States, even as he admonished them to be good ambassador of the scheme wherever they find themselves.

Be a good nigerian and forget about the increment for now,
We need to take care of the poorest people around first.

FG is still reviewing the process , it wouldn't be fare to increase corper's salaries and leave Minimum wage out of it , I do hope it all works out


The usual idiots said the increment was to buy votes against 2019 , some even argued our economy can not sustain it , they called it '' the right move at the wrong time'' so i asked the chief of the idiots , when is the right time ? 2018 or 2019 ? the fool answered we are just recovering from recession , Ok fine , but since you know it's a wonderful idea, why didn't GEJ your Ogogoro master do it since his own economy was booming ? I haven't seen the idiot's answer since then


Good things are coming to Nigerians , we just hope the usual fools don't bring war in Nigeria
