NYSC Debunks Fake Circular, Reiterates Suspension of Biometric Clearance

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has dismissed a circulating social media post purporting to be a circular from the Director General, calling it a "ruse" and a product of "unpatriotic elements." The Scheme has expressed concern over the spread of misleading information and vowed to uncover and address those responsible.

In a statement by Eddy Megwa, Director of Information and Public Relations, the NYSC emphasized that authentic circulars are not released through social media bloggers. The Scheme reaffirmed the ongoing suspension of biometric clearance and Community Development Services (CDS), assuring Corps Members of timely updates through official channels.

The NYSC also reassured Corps Members of the Federal Government's commitment to their welfare, citing the inclusion of Corps Members in every wage review. However, the Scheme warned against participating in protests, citing the oath sworn by Corps Members and the NYSC Bye laws. The NYSC Act and bye law will be invoked against any Corps Member taking the law into their own hands.

The Scheme awaits government pronouncement on the newly increased minimum wage, promising swift action on stipend review once authorized by the relevant authorities.
