President Bola Tinubu’s led federal government has announced that National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) members will benefit from the ongoing minimum wage negotiation if the National Assembly approves it.
The government disclosed this via the corps’ Director General, Brigadier General Y.D Ahmed, who was on a tour to the NYSC’s Ogin state orientation camp on Saturday, July 6.
According to Daily Independence, the DG assured the corps members that they would be included in the minimum wage agreement.
The DG commended the 2,762 Batch ‘B’ Stream I corps members undergoing the three-week orientation course and encouraged them to embrace the discipline and collectivism fostered by the camp’s regimented nature.
He also warned corps members against posting unauthorized pictures of camp activities on social media, citing that three members had already been decamped for violating this rule.
The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier-General Ahmed, warned corps members against taking unauthorized trips or journeys during their service year. He emphasized that the Scheme’s priority is to ensure the safe return of all corps members to their homes and families at the end of their service.
Since the removal of the fuel subsidy, President Tinubu’s government and organized labour have been negotiating for a new minimum wage. However, the government, labour, and the organized private sector have yet to agree on the minimum wage.
TheNGblog earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu has lamented the low electricity generation for a country as big as Nigeria
The president said it was disappointing that a big country like Nigeria is generating only 4.5 gigawatts, which is insufficient for the country’s needs.
Tinubu’s lamentation came hours after the electricity distribution company announced an upward review of electricity tariffs in the country.
