The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has appealed to corps members to exercise patience over the delay in the payment of March 2016 allowance.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the management said it was actively liaising with the ministry of finance to ensure that money is released for disbursement to the corps members.

“The management of the National Youth Service Corps regrets the delay in the payment of March 2016 allowances of corps members,” the statement read.

“In view of this, corps members and the public are hereby informed that management is actively liaising with the federal ministry of finance to ensure that money is released for disbursement to the corps members through the usual Central Bank platform.

“In the same vein, out-going 2015 batch ‘A’ Streams 1 and 2 corps members are reassured that their April allowance (2 months for Stream 2) will be duly paid as soon as fund is released from the federal ministry of finance.

“We hereby urge all corps members to remain calm and go about their lawful duties peacefully.”
