Abia Governor Alex Otti Raises NYSC Allowances to ₦50,000 Monthly

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has approved a substantial increase in the monthly allowances of NYSC corps members serving in the state, raising it from ₦4,000 to ₦50,000. This adjustment, the first major one in 27 years, is part of Otti's broader vision to strengthen youth empowerment and improve the public sector in Abia.
The move aims to align with the federal government's new ₦77,000 allowance for corps members. The increment is seen as a step towards rewarding and encouraging young professionals to contribute to the state's growth.
This decision places Abia State among the top states offering the highest monthly stipends to corps members.
