FCT, Abuja - Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna central senatorial district in the national assembly in the 8th assembly said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government should implement the N70,000 allowance to serving corps members.
Sani stated this while reacting to the statement issued by the management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) that the viral reports concerning the alleged payment of N70,000 minimum wage to corps members are "absolute falsehood".
Legit.ng recalls that Eddy Megwa, NYSC's director of information and public relations, said "no directive has been received from the relevant sector of government responsible for wages matters."
Reacting to NYSC statement, Sani said NYSC members jubilated when the purported increment of allowance from N33,000 to N70,000 only to be told it’s fake news.
The former federal lawmaker stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @ShehuSani on Sunday, August 11.
He urged the federal government not “turn the fake to real” for the corps members.
Sani wrote:
"The Youth Corpers jubilated over the 70k increment only to be told its fake news. The FG should just turn the fake to real; this fake is a good fake."
