The National Youth Service Corps says commercial banks are responsible for the delay in the payment of June allowances of serving corps members across the country.
The NYSC gave the explanation on Sunday in a statement posted on its official Twitter handle @officialnyscng.
It, however, said its management was working hard to ensure that the delay in payment was addressed.
The statement, signed by the Director, Press of the NYSC, Eddy Megwa, partly read: “For the avoidance of doubt, the scheme completed all arrangements for the payment of corps members’ allowance since June 27, 2023, and remittances made same day to various banks accordingly.
“The delay being currently experienced is due to the administration of funds by various banks who are yet to credit corps members’ accounts.
“In line with the above, the NYSC management is assiduously interfacing with the banks to fast-track the payment of corps members’ June allowance without further delay.”
