The Management of the National Youth Service Corps has expressed its disappointment, in the misrepresentation of facts published, by some Members of the press during the visit of NYSC Director General, YD Ahmed, to Ogun State Orientation Camp in Sagamu, yesterday.
“For clarity sake, General Ahmed while addressing Corps Members, said it is expected that they would benefit from the minimum wage when it is approved, he did not say the President has approved any increment in Corps Members’ allowance.” The Management said.
Meanwhile, as part of his oversight functions during Orientation periods, the Director General advised the Corps Members on different issues relating to patriotism, entrepreneurship, security consciousness, community development among other issues of youth development for leadership roles
The Management, therefore advised that, members of the press be factual in their reportage of NYSC activities, so as not to incite unnecessary apprehension among the Scheme’s stakeholders.
