Governor Alex Otti has approved a significant increase in the monthly allowances for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in Abia State, raising the stipend from ₦4,000 to ₦50,000.
According to a government statement, in addition to the Federal Government’s increased NYSC monthly allowance of ₦77,000, all corps members serving in Abia State will now receive a basic monthly allowance of ₦20,000. Those serving in State Government establishments, particularly teaching and medical personnel, will earn additional allowances of ₦10,000 and ₦30,000, respectively.
The statement explained that the move is intended to motivate corps members and help bridge the human capacity gap within the state.
“The New Abia has paved the way for a new era for corps members. Governor Otti’s administration isn’t just talking it’s acting. From renovating the NYSC Orientation Camp in Bende LGA to providing logistics and power infrastructure, the State Government has consistently demonstrated its recognition of the contributions of corps members to its transformational journey,” the statement read.
It added, “Whether it’s fixing internal roads within the NYSC camp, installing power equipment, or upgrading dilapidated buildings, the Governor’s hands-on approach is transforming the NYSC experience in Abia.
“Although the camp is a Federal Government-owned facility, Governor Otti believes that every institution or infrastructure within Abia federal or state-owned deserves attention,” the statement concluded.
