They stated that since the beginning of their service in November 2019, they received the state allowance just once.

The NYSC members in a letter submitted to the government called for the payment of their monthly allowances immediately.

The letter read: “The law provides among other entitlements of the corps members a monthly upkeep allowance of N5000 only and the security of all corps members deployed to Sokoto State.’’

 

“Accordingly, you may wish to be informed that since the beginning of our service here in Sokoto State on the 5th November 2019, batch Cl and C2 were only paid the monthly allowance for the month of June while the other months have been left unpaid.

 

According to the letter,“As the law provides, the upkeep allowance is not in the category of privileges that can be truncated without any justifiable reason. Hence, the need to kindly request you to direct the settlement of the total backlog of the upkeep allowance as provided by the law.’’

 

The corps members also appealed to the governor to act fast on their request.

    certainly like your web-site however you need to take a look
    at the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
    Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find
    it very bothersome to inform the reality however
    I’ll surely come back again.
