NYSC members in Oyo receive October allowance after payment delay
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in Oyo State have confirmed receiving their October allowance following complaints over the delay in payment.
A corps member who had earlier contacted Peoples Gazette to report the delay reached out to the newspaper again on Wednesday, confirming with a screenshot of the alert that the affected corps members had received their October allowance.
“Thank you so much. The alert finally came in this evening,” he said.
The corps member also expressed appreciation to The Gazette for helping publicise their grievances and giving them a voice amid the delay.
The development comes a day after some corps members in the state raised concerns over the delay in payment of their October allowance, prompting calls for intervention.
The NYSC had attributed the delay to a technical glitch involving the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), promising affected corps members that the outstanding payments would be made before the end of the week.
