Management
I am serving in Jalingo but I’m not aware of the clearance.
But in Jalingo this directive is not in effect. Clearance has started this week here and I’m not comfortable with it. May God save us from all this wicked official here.
Just wondering if they know how this COVID-19 of a thing operates.
Good afternoon.
I’m a 2020 Batch A corper. I’m yet to get my allowance for the month of March which i’m still expecting.
I want to know if the two months you’re talking about is March and April or April and May. Thanks.
March and April
Oh taught it’s April/may because its stated that for the next two month and I guess March is automatic because we all did the the clearance in camp already.
