The Management of the National Youth Service (NYS) and Government are in talks for additional funding to pay salaries. In a memo to the employees, NYS’ acting chief executive officer, George Likukela said their salaries would not be processed by Friday, due to the unavailability of funds. The memo further says it was difficult to state when the issue would be resolved as engagements with Government are ongoing. The NYS employees usually receive their salaries on the 25th of every month.
