Jigawa Governor Umar Namadi Promises NYSC Allowance Increase
On October 19, 2026, Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi pledged to review and increase the allowances of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members assigned to the state. This announcement was made during his visit to the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Fanisau, Dutse, coinciding with the passing-out ceremony for the 2026 Batch C Stream corps members.
Governor Namadi stated that the proposed increase aims to recognize the contributions of corps members to the state's development and to alleviate the impact of current economic challenges. He also announced an immediate N10,000 transport allowance for each corps member to facilitate their movement to primary assignments.
Additionally, he mentioned plans to construct a larger hall at the camp for gatherings and to procure a larger generator to improve power supply at the NYSC camp. Muhammad Baba, the NYSC Jigawa State Coordinator, commended the governor for his support and urged continued assistance for the scheme.
