N30k minimum wage: NYSC gives information on corps members’ allowance

- The NYSC said there is no new development yet on corps members; allowance

- Thus is in response to rumour that there has been an increment in the payment

- The NYSC said it would communicate appropriately when there is a development

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has asked corps members to disregard report of increment in allowance to N31, 800.

There has been report that following the signing of the new minimum wage bill by President Muhammadu Buhari, the allowance of corps members had been increased to N31, 800.

Vanguard reports that Eddy Megwa who is a deputy director of the NYSC in Abuja said the government is yet to inform the scheme of any increase in allowance.

He said the NYSC does not pay corps members directly but that any new development will be duly communicated.

He said: “The NYSC does not pay corps members any sum of money directly as stipends but the federal government does.

“Until the government is ready to implement the N30,000 minimum wage, we cannot say what corps members will earn for their service to the nation.

“Disregard any figure you find making the rounds on social media. When the federal government is ready, it will inform NYSC and we will announce it to corps members through official channels.”

Meanwhile, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) disclosed that it has begun a probe of credentials of applicants from 2009-2019.

Fabian Benjamin, the head of the media and information office of JAMB, on Monday, April 22, disclosed that the probe was being carried out with the aid of a new biometric software.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
