The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Director-General, Shuaibu Ibrahim has revealed that payment of N30,000 minimum wage to corps members will depend on directive from the federal government.
Shuaibu Ibrahim has also disclosed that the Corps members date of births would start appearing as from the issuance of the Batch C discharge certificates to guard against age falsification.
While speaking to News Men, The NYSC Director-General, Shuaibu Ibrahim, said this on Thursday in Abuja. ”On the minimum wage, I cannot make any pronouncement because it is ongoing.
The moment it is transmitted to NYSC, we will make it known to the corps members and the general public,” he said.
He said the NYSC Act stipulates that fake graduates are liable to two years in jail, after prosecution. He said a corps producing institution will be blacklisted if it engages in this act.
"Let me reiterate our warning that any body who presents fake certificate in an attempt to get mobilised for service will be handed over to the security agencies for prosecution".
“We are working on those fake corps members. They will be arrested and prosecuted. “If I show you their papers, you will feel very sad. Some people have asked me if NYSC has the power to crosscheck the certification of graduates, I said no, but we have the power to ensure that unqualified Nigerians are not mobilised for service".he lament.
“The NYSC Director--General Shuaibu Ibrahim says unqualified Nigerians who go for service are liable for jail (term) of two years. “So, the NYSC will never condone or abet illegality in any form".
We want Nigerians to know that. Since inception, 4,644,804 Nigerians have participated in the scheme.” Meanwhile, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has lamented delay in implementation not the new minimum wage.
