Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has approved a significant upward review of allowances for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in the state, raising the payment from ₦4,000 to ₦50,000 per month.
This is the first major increment in nearly three decades, marking a 1,150% increase in corps members’ stipends. The move has garnered widespread praise across Abia State and beyond, with many describing it as a bold and youth-friendly policy.
