Quoting some members of the scheme, this reputable media group maintained that alert of the payments has been received by some corps members while others are expectant of their payment.
“Alert has entered. It is true, we have received N77k,” a corps member serbinv in Lagos State told Platforms Africa.
Another serving Corp member in Akwa-Ibom, who pleaded anonymity also confirmed the new payment to our correspondent.
“March Allawee is special. They have paid N77k as promised,” she said.
