The National Youth Service Corps says it has not directed corps members to upgrade their accounts for the payment of N70,000 minimum wage.
It said this in a statement issued by the Director, Information and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, on Sunday in Abuja.
According to Megwa, the misleading information making the rounds on social media is absolute falsehood.
He said: “Corps members, parents and members of the public should note that no directive has been received from any relevant sector of government responsible for wage matters.
“It is therefore impossible for the NYSC to issue any directive on such.

“Corps members already know the approved channel and mode of communication in the scheme and should therefore ignore the directive accordingly.
“The NYSC by this release, therefore, urges corps members to desist from allowing mischief makers to play on their intelligence.”
Megwa also warned bloggers and social media influencers to stop issuing statements that concern the management of NYSC without authorisation.
