The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a programme managed by the Federal Government (FG) in collaboration with States of the Federation and from the onset, it is the FG that pays all serving corps members the 19800 Monthly allowance.

Some states of the Federation pay Corpers additional monthly allowances for Corpers serving in their states so as to make life better for Corpers while they serve the nation.

It is within the public awareness that Ogun State doesn't pay Corpers a dime and for that reason, corpers rely solely on the 19800 allowances paid by the FG.

It is an established fact that FG doesn't owe Corpers allowances because they pay all Corpers for complete twelve months that they will serve the Nation.

Going straight to unpaid allowances which is where the misappropriation comes in, there are instances where some Corpers might not be paid their allowances in a particular month due to some errors or not participating in that monthly clearance. However, after complaints, they are to be paid later on.

But that is not the case in Ogun State where Corpers rely solely on the 19800. In Ogun, after making applications for unpaid allowances, Corpers have been told that they should forget about their unpaid allowances; both those who couldn't clear and those who cleared and were not paid. The question is, where is the money going to?

Ogun State is currently owing so many Corpers unpaid allowances for either a month or several months and the hope of Corpers for future reimbursement have been killed by that statement "you should forget about it." Who is receiving those monies?

The orientation Corpers got was that Federal Government will pay them the allowances for complete twelve (12) months.

But the way Ogun state is handling the monthly payments, some corpers are being owed 2, 3, 4 or more months monthly allowances and most of the corpers cannot make online publication due to the fear that they will be punished by NYSC.

FG should investigate what is going on in Ogun state and trash the matter as some Corpers serving in Ogun state are currently experiencing hunger "a curse" in due to unpaid monthly allowances.
