Late July, President Bola Tinubu signed the minimum wage bill into law, increasing the National Minimum Wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000.
The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has denounced what it described as misleading information circulating in the media regarding the payment of ₦70,000 minimum wage to corps members.
A statement signed by the Director, Information and Public Relations of the Corps, Eddy Megwa, said corps members, parents and members of the public should note that no directive has been received from the relevant sector of government responsible to raise the allowance of corps members.
The statement explained that corps members already know the approved channel and mode of communication in the scheme and should therefore ignore misleading information accordingly.
The NYSC however admonishes corp members to desist from allowing mischief makers who are set to mislead Nigerians from continuing to play on their intelligence.
