NYSC › Re: Nysc January Allowance by theowane: 4:19pm On Jan 28, 2020*

Leauwizzy:
Is the agency a secret agency??. Is the agency responsible for paying corpers?. And finally what's the name of this agency??

don't mind the bad belle. The office of the Accountant General of the federation is responsible for the payment of salaries to anybody working for the Federal government. So I don't know what agency he is talking about. Besides, I wonder which agency of government is not competent for Christ sake?!. Summary: budget 2020 has been signed into law, the ministry of finance has no excuse whatsoever not to begin implementation. But the issue here is no one knows how much precisely cos neither the DG, the minstry of finance nor the minister of youth and sports development is coming up with any figures. I remember during Goodluck, the then DG, Gen. Tsiga stated it as soon as the then president approved, how much will be paid, how many months arrears will be paid and all that. But this govt always keeps things secret, too bad!

my brother, its not true. NMS is only a secondary school o. And last time I checked the Nysc act, Nysc is only meant for graduates of higher institutions. An ssce holder, like those from nms can not, and I repeat"can not" partake in the Nysc scheme cos they are not qualified to. Always check your facts before bringing them forward.

I cant see any Navy uniform there. Enugu State has no Naval formation. It is has the 82 division of the Nigerian Army and an air force formation

I only see four Uniforms there, which are
Army
Navy
Airforce
Police

I wonder why he didn't invite Enugu forest guards or are they not members of Enugu armed forces

I hope South West will not behave like Gburugburu, all the Yoruba State should invite ametokun members in their own armed forces remembrance day.

Also Zamfara nd Kano should allow Hisbah to do same.

NYSC › Re: Why Is The Federal Government Silent On The Payment Of New Minimum Wage Arrears? by theowane(op): 2:28pm On Dec 31, 2019

Lekan111:
*WILL FG PAY EX-CORPS MEMBERS MINIMUM WAGE ARREARS*

_Will FG pay ex-Corps members minimum wage arrears? Find answer below._

Following the Federal Executive Council (FEC) weekly meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, the Ministry of Finance and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation has been directed to pay consequential iadjustments on the new minimum wage before *December 31st.*

Since then, Nyscinfo.com has been receiving series of questions as regard to this minimum wage arrears payment.
The most frequently asked question is "will Federal Government (FG) pay ex-Corps members minimum wage arrears".

Before I answer this question let's first understand the meaning of minimum wage.

*What is Minimum Wage?*
Minimum wage has been defined as the lowest salary that an employer is mandated by law to pay workers. This usually come, following negotiations between Labour Union and Federal government. Once the President sign minimum wage into law, employers who pay below the minimum wage can be sued to Court.

*_Will ex-Corps members minimum wage arrears?_*

Both ex-Corps members and serving Corps members will receive the new minimum wage arrears. However, those who will receive this arrears are those who were in service when minimum wage was signed into law.

That means minimum wage arrears will be paid to those who were in active service between *April* and *December, 2019.*

*_What date did Buhari sign N30,000 minimum wage bill into law?_*

The National Assembly passed the minimum wage bill on *March 19th 2019,* and it was transmitted to President Buhari on *April 2nd.*

On *Thursday, April 18th, 2019,* President Muhammadu Buhari signed the new minimum wage bill into law.

_*How can minimum wage arrears be determined?*_

The old minimum wage is *N18,000* and the new minimum wage is
*N30,000.*

Therefore, *N30,000 – N18,000 = N12,000.*

It has been 9 months since Buhari signed minimum wage into law. Therefore, the minimum wage arrears for those that have been employed since April to December is *N12,000 x 9 = N108,000.*

*Note:* The consequential adjustment arrears include those that their salaries were reviewed upward because of the new minimum wage.

In the comment section, tell us what you think about minimum wage arrears.

I came across all these too. But truth is they are all speculations. Nothing here shows or answers the issue of payment of arrears to corps members. Untill the FG comes out with a definite statement, (which they are not), we are all but speculating.

NYSC › Why Is The Federal Government Silent On The Payment Of New Minimum Wage Arrears? by theowane(op): 1:53pm On Dec 31, 2019*

I don't seem to understand what is happening with the Federal government as pe the payment of new minimum wage arrears to corps members. If you are one of those that have followed this up in the last 5 months, you will discover that it has been like a ball ⚽ juggling from either the ministry of youths sports and national development (MYSND) to the ministry of finance, or from the MYSND to the NYSC itself. You will recall that sometime in October, the honourable minister of the MYSND told the whole world (via his verified twitter account) that corps members will enjoy the new minimum wage, and that the DG of the NYSC will provide further details of payment as soon as he (the DG) gets full briefing from the honourable ministers of Finance and MYSND. Days latter, the DG said he was yet to get any directives from the Minister of finance on the implementation. But he was also quick to add that implementation will begin as soon as the FG begins to implement that of Federal civil servants. Sometime in December, the minister of MYSND told corps members in Lagos that corps members will only begin to receive the adjusted wage from next year (2020) because it was fully catered for in the 2020 budget. Take note that nobody has come out in details to state exactly how much corps members will receive and if they will be paid in arrears. The Federal Executive Council in one of its meetings in October had directed the minister of Finance to effect the payments of both the new minimum wage as well as arrears on or before December 31. Today is supposed to be deadline yet, nothing has been seen nor heard. But I have been very reliably informed that Federal civil servants received their adjusted minimum wage salaries for December, plus they have started receiving arrears since Monday. I don't seem to understand because the issue of the new minimum wage is something that has been on for well over a year now. Does that mean the FG has not been proactive to send a supplementary budget to the NASS, or are they trying to say that if Labour and Government had reached an agreement on the consequential adjustment since May, they would have waited till 2020 to start implementation, or are they also saying that corps members are less important, or they don't live in the same harsh economic realities every other person faces in Nigeria today?! Maybe they (corps members) dont go to the same markets, or perhaps they rent their own houses from the sky, or maybe the FG government pays the utility bills of corps members and provides free transportation from their homes to PPA's and from homes to CDS. I just don't seem to understand I swear, plus its very annoying. Please anyone with info on this issue could input. Thanks

Dikegodspower:
are you not aware that the Gen has the constitutional right to send supplementary budget to facilitate the minimum wage payment?
receive sense to send reason well in Jesus Christ name I pray,,,,,AMEN

absolutely, I concur. You see, govt is very insincere about the whole issue. Ok, let us even assume there was an agreement, with the consequential adjustment, reached in June, 2019. Are you telling me that govt will have to wait till the 2020 budget to be passed before implementation?! Let us give them the benefit of the doubt and see if there is any arrears captured in the 2020 budget for the corps members, if not, I'll be very disappointed � in the APC govt.

Ah!, I feel like weeping, plus I'm so so shocked at your response and ignorance! For your information sir, not everyone, who comes from the North is a Muslim. Let me give you instances; there are indigenous Christians in Kano (maguzawas). There are plenty Christians in Kaduna (Southern Kaduna), go to Bauchi state and you will find indigenous Christians (Tafawa Balewa LGA), in fact, that is where the immediate former speaker of the house of reps comes from. Go to Bornu state, Chibok, you will find Christians, kebbi state (zurus), Taraba, Adamawa, Sokoto, name them. My brother, there is no state in Nigeria were you don't have indigenous Christians. Please erase that thought from your mind and stop misleading others

Give me just 8 billion, and I will renovate the whole complex, in 9 months. Madam, do you know what 37 billion is? That money is about 1/3 of the budget of some small states in Nigeria, and you say its misplaced outrage. Give that money to Gov Fayemi and see how about 3 million Ekiti people will not benefit from it. When the MKO Abiola stadium was built by the Obasanjo administration in 2003, do you know for how much it was built? 38 billion! Pensions are still been owed since 2006, and are been paid in small small bits, minimum wage arrears have not been paid, Lagos Ibadan road is still there, second Niger bridge is dragging, Mambilla project... I beg you madam, I know you were once a senator and it is now your duty to speak for the red chambers (at least for now), but you have to do that feeling the pulse of the nation. If the building complex is that of the FCT, why then are you telling Mr president? Why not go and tell the FCT minister? You are even contradicting yourself

The body language of most of these Govs is not encouraging. Even that of the Federal govt isn't either. Their propaganda is too much. It is as if they are been forced to pay. Even though Mr El Rufai is not a perfect man, he needs to be commended. No matter how you see him, the man is a very proactive man and we need such kind of minds are needed in Nigeria.

And to think that Theodore was a better actor than those two.

This is considering that F.O has proven himself to be a knight in shining armor for ailing actors.

More bizarre is that Chika Okpala did not put in even one percent of the energy he put in when Tunde Alabi was sick for Theo.

The statement from the so called ATEN is very laughable. I'm surprised they still have the guts. They look desperate. Like @brosiye has said, only and only @ptad have the mandate to pay any monies to all ex mitel/mtel staff. Please no one should be deceived, the issue of 20 buy out has died (with the introduction of monthly pensions), except ATEN are trying to say all the pensions received since 2018 will be returned. We have gone past that one now. What we are concerned about now is how the FG will fund @ptad to pay the accumulated arrears btw 2012 to when pensions started. Please and please, lets be guided.

releasing circular makes no sense if payment is not paid or implemented as stated.......since April 2019 when this minimum wage bill was signed into law, we are in November, 2019........it will now be state governors and Labour to slug it out!

. No sir. In the govt circle, there are laid down procedures. I'm not justifying the unnecessary long time this issue of new minimum wage has lingered. The federal govt could not have started paying any wage without that circular from the NSWIC. That circular is the main thing everyone was waiting for. Now that it has been released, I bet you, the next salary alert that Federal Civil Servants will see is their new salaries.
