The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has made a strong appeal to the Federal Government for an upward review of the allowance paid to corps members.
Acting Director-General, Mrs Christy Uba, made the request during a courtesy visit by the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.
She said corps members were eager to participate in the 2023 general elections.
She described the meeting as timely, stressing that the NYSC was committed to the partnership.
“The youths are very interested and it is expected that everyone that is part of the committee will go back and cross the t’s and dot the i’s.
“NYSC is committed to the partnership with INEC. We have come a long way and we cannot go back, a lot has been achieved.”
