On Friday, November 29, the Adamawa State Government announced a significant increase in the monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members posted to the state. The allowance has been raised to N20,000, doubling the previous amount of N10,000 that corps members were receiving.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri made the announcement during the opening ceremony of the NYSC Batch C Stream 1 orientation course at the Damare NYSC camp in Girei Local Government Area. He congratulated the corps members on their graduation and successful posting to the state for their national service.
“You are all here to contribute to the growth and development of our state,” Governor Fintiri said. He also reassured the corps members of peace in the state and encouraged them to actively engage in their places of primary assignment.
The state’s NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Ateli Samson, thanked the governor for his support in improving the welfare of corps members. A total of 1,500 corps members are currently registered for the ongoing orientation camp.
This move is expected to boost the morale of the corps members, ensuring they are well-supported during their service year.
