We will pay corps members June allawee, NYSC says

The National Youth Service Corps on Monday said it will pay all qualified corps members the monthly payment of allowance (popularly called allawee), for the month of June.

The NYSC Director (Press and Public Relations), Adenike Adeyemi, in a statement, debunked rumours it the payment was postponed.

She described the reports as fake news from mischief-makers.

She said, “Management hereby states that the release did not emanate from the NYSC. It is the handiwork of mischief makers bent on deceiving corps members and should be disregarded in its entirety.

“For the avoidance of doubt, all qualified corps members shall be paid allowance for the month of June, while in addition, those passing out from service in July shall receive July stipend, as well as transport allowance.”
