After Premium Times report, NYSC pays allowance of corps member shot during service

, Mr Dada, was not paid his April and May monthly allowances while he was in hospital receiving treatment for gunshot injuries he sustained from the attack.

Narrating his ordeal to PREMIUM TIMES at the time, he said he “felt betrayed by Nigeria,” after making several requests to get his payment. To get monthly payment, corps members are expected to get monthly letters from their place of primary assignment to confirm that they truly worked for the month. After receiving the letter, they take it to the NYSC Secretariat at their local government following which they are paid for the month.However, speaking with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday evening, he confirmed that NYSC paid one month’s allowance and also promised to fast track the remaining month’s outstanding fee.

“The NYSC called today and they have paid for one month. They said I should not worry that I will get the other one soonest.”He told PREMIUM TIMES he will be fully satisfied when the full payment is made.“Among other things, I demand the remaining payment of my allowance. The government is stupendously rich. I was hoping for compensations for health damages but that never came, as expected,” he said. “I’m only asking for my entitlement”.

When questioned about what the scheme is planning for the family of the slain corps members, she told our correspondent that she is new in the state but will reach out to Abuja to get full details of the incident.The NYSC scheme is compulsory for Nigerians who graduate before the age of 30. It is an experience many graduates usually look forward to.
