The former Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brig.
Gen. Johnson Olawumi, yesterday announced that efforts to ensure an
increase in the monthly allowance of serving corp members would soon
yield positive result.
Johnson Olawumi made this disclosure in during his handover ceremony to the new Director General of the scheme, Brig. Gen. Sule Kazaure which took place at the NYSC National Secretariat in Abuja, explaining that the management of the scheme had drawn the attention of the Federal Government to the need to increase the allowances through a series of letter written to the government to that effect.
According to the ex-NYSC DG;
“The scheme was not able to handle some of its programmes especially the sports and cultural festival in 2015.
“You may not be aware that series of letters that have been written and necessary follow up to the appropriate authorities on the need for proper funding of the scheme. This is especially important now that the current corps population has risen to 260,000 per year.”
He advised his successor to place the welfare of corps members and staff at the top of his priority list in order to boost their morale for effective service delivery and also urged the staff to extend the cooperation he enjoyed during his stay in the scheme to the new DG to achieve the desired result. Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi who was redeployed to the Nigeria Army School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering said:
