The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members participating in the 2023 elections of safety and an increase in allowance.
The management of NYSC had earlier called for the review of allowances being paid to corps members during elections.
The newly appointed director-general of the NYSC, Brig-General Yushau Ahmed, however, confirmed the increment of the corps members’ allowance ahead of the polls.
Speaking when he received the NYSC management at the commission’s headquarters Thursday in Abuja, INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu noted that the Commission can not conduct elections without the involvement of NYSC.
