Information available to 247ureports.com indicates that the Federal Ministry of Youth Development under the leadership of Alhaji Bolaji Abdullahi may have begun exhibiting symptoms of mismanagement of financial resources available to the Ministry. This is as the Ministry charged with the responsibility of disbursement of NYSC allowances to corpers across the nation failed to make available the said monies to the youth corpers for the month of April 2012.
As gathered through independent inquiry, the youth corpers staged in Kaduna, Zamfara, Oyo, Lagos confirmed to our correspondent that they have yet to receive their April 2012 allowance as of May 22, 2012. The corpers who have become agitated and visibly angry indicated that they find themselves helpless to the situation – as the representatives of the Ministry of Youth Development had warned the corpers not to talk to the media – or table their grieviance to any channel other than the Ministry of Youth Development.
The delayed allowance, it is feared may be symptomatic of a larger problem within the Ministry of Youth Development. It remains uncertain. When our correspondent attempted to the the media aides to the Minister – they did not answer their calls or text messages.
Stay tuned.
