He explained that the allowance increase is awaiting completion of financial processes before implementation.
Dogara reaffirmed the scheme’s strict stance on protests and misconduct, citing recent instances where corps members faced disciplinary actions for violating regulations.
He reminded participants of the consequences outlined in the NYSC bylaws and urged them to comply with the rules.
