Corpers Demand Their Allowances from Oyo State Govt

National Youth Service Corps members serving in Oyo State have on Tuesday pleaded with the state government to pay them their outstanding nine months' N4, 000 monthly state allowances.

One of the Corpers whose name was withheld had these to say, “People like us teaching in schools do not even have accommodation and it is supposed to be the responsibility of the school and government. So, we have to accommodate ourselves and it has not been easy.

“With the situation of things in the country now, the N19, 800 the Federal Government is giving us is not even enough. We have to transport ourselves and do other things.

“We will pass out in October, yet we have not received anything. The government should please pay us everything at once or even twice, before we pass out” she added.
