NAIJ.com earlier reported the National Youths Service Corps as saying it experienced a system failure in the payments of allowances to corps members.
Some corps members who started receiving their monthly stipends were surprised when they got multiple credit alerts - some up to four times - for October payment.
Some of those who passed out last Thursday, November 2, got as much as N164,000 instead of the usual N41,000, while others who are still serving received as much as N79,200, instead of 19,800.
