NYSC Denies Diverting February Allowance For Anti-Coronavirus Fight

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has debunked the reports attributed to the Director-General of the scheme, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim that the February allowance of Corps Members had been used to fight against Coronavirus.

Reacting to the reports, NYSC Director, Press and Public Relations, Adenike Adeyemi, in a statement, noted that the report is fake and misleading, stressing that the fabricators of such post are insensitivity.

She said that discerning members of the public will know that the press release is not true and can never be issued by the NYSC Director-General, adding that the scheme is commitment to prioritize the welfare of corps members.

Part of the statement reads:

“The attention of the Management of the National Youth Service Corps has been drawn to an announcement, purported to have been issued by the NYSC Director – General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim to the effect that the February allowance of Corps Members had been channelled towards the fight against Coronavirus.

“Every discerning mind knows that the press release is not true; and can never be issued by the NYSC Director – General.

“To all intents and purposes, the false representation by the fabricators of that mischievous post smacks of insensitivity. A global issue such as the Coronavirus which represents a threat to humanity should not be reduced to an object of joke.

“The Management of the National Youth Service Corps and indeed the Federal Government shall continue to accord top priority to the welfare of Corps Members.”
