The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) issued a warning to corps members last week against participating in any protests over the delayed implementation of the new minimum wage.
In a statement released by the NYSC’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, the NYSC said it was still waiting for the government’s official decision regarding the newly-increased wage.
Megwa urged corps members not to allow anyone influence them into protesting against the minimum wage implementation as it would be in violation of their oath and the provisions of the NYSC Bye Laws.
“The scheme will not hesitate to invoke the content of the NYSC Act and bye law on any Corps Member that takes law into his hands,” Megwa warned.
He described the misleading information being spread about the scheme as a matter of grave concern for the NYSC. He said the perpetrators of such misinformation would be dealt with.
