Governor Alex Otti has approved an increase in the monthly allowances of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in Abia State. The increment in the allowance is from ₦4,000 to ₦50,000.
A Government statement in this regard said in addition to the Federal Government’s increased monthly NYSC allowance of ₦77,000, all corps members serving in Abia State will now earn a basic monthly allowance of ₦20,000, while those serving within State Government Establishments, and specifically Teaching/Medical personnel, will earn an additional discriminatory allowance of ₦10,000 and ₦30,000, respectively.
The statement said this was to motivate interested Corp members, thereby bridging the human capacity gap.
“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 value for the contributions of Corps Members in its transformational journey.

“Whether it’s fixing internal roads within the NYSC camp, installing power equipment, or upgrading dilapidated buildings, the Governor’s Midas touch and hands-on approach is transforming the NYSC experience in Abia.
“Despite the camp being a Federal Government-owned facility, Governor Otti believes that every institution or Infrastructure within Abia — federal or state-owned — deserves attention”, the statement added.
