Brief News reports that as indicated by Vanguard, a Deputy Director at the NYSC base camp Abuja, Eddy Megwa said on Wednesday that the central government is yet to advise the Scheme regarding any increments in the stipends of serving corps individuals.

Megwa stresses that despite the fact that the NYSC does not pay corps individuals legitimately, the national government will educate the Scheme regarding any increments before a stipend figure not the same as the current N19,800 is made accessible to the general population.

He says, "The NYSC does not pay corps individuals any entirety of cash straightforwardly as stipends yet the central government does. "Until the administration is prepared to execute the N30,000 the lowest pay permitted by law, we can't state what corps individuals will acquire for their support of the country.

"Negligence any figure you discover making the rounds via web-based networking media. At the point when the central government is prepared, it will illuminate NYSC and we will declare it to corps individuals through authority channels."
