The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday said claims making the rounds on social media that the allowance of corps members’ has been reduced by 25 per cent were false.

NYSC’s Director of Press, Bose Aderibigbe, who made the clarification in Abuja said the allowance of corps members remained N19,800, and not N14,800 as published on social media.

Mrs. Aderibigbe said the information was misleading stating the scheme was committed to the welfare of the corps members.
