No fewer than 100 National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Batch ‘C’ 2014
members yesterday took to the streets of Aba protesting the non-payment of
their four months allowances by Abia State government, and locked the
entrance of the state Secondary Education Management Board, SEMB, located
along Aba-Owerri Road.
The protesting corps members who displayed placards with varying inscriptions
accused Abia State government of not paying them their N5000 monthly
allowance since October last year.
The situation caused traffic hold-up along the ever-busy Aba-Owerri Road for
hours.
One of the protesters who would not want his name in print said that they were
initially owed five months but were paid one month when they protested last
week, with the assurance that they would be paid fully later after asking them
to drop their account details.
“It was the same tricks they used on the Batch ‘B’ 2014 members and as I
speak with you, they are yet to pay them their outstanding two months
allowances and we are not going to allow them to use our brain.”
Another corps member who corroborated his colleague’s statement added: “We
were supposed to collect this money in Umuahia, but they said that we should
go back to our zones, only for us to be paid only one month. We are aware that
the governor has released money for them to pay us but a few people have
decided to pocket our money, even when we have worked for it. A worker
deserves his wages and that is why we are letting people to know the mal- nigerianpilot.com/nysc-members-protest-4-months-unpaid-allowances-abia/
treatment on us.”

14C? This kain early morning ?

Dear Corp Members,

You are only statutory entitled to the Allowance from the federal government. Any other stipends are out of benevolence of various State government and not an entitlement. The stipends of N5,000 monthly is a benefit, a privilege and not a right. You are not part of the Abia State Civil Service nor were you mobilised by Abia State. While I urge the government of Abia State to redeem the "allowee", I should also tell you that this protest is illegal and unconstitutional. May God Provide for you all...

Amaechi of rivers state hasn't paid mine for years now. Our government and their lackadaisical attitute sha

Na so oh.
Not bound by law. Not also bound by PROMISE

Anyway na only the president and federal government get am pfor responsibility. The 36 states and 774 LGAs nor get am pfor any responsibility at all, that is to say our state governors and LGA chairmen are totally & completely IRRESPONSIBLE because we the clueless citizens want to have it so.

So wats holding d allowance?
