EVERY NYSC CORPS WILL NOW BE LOBBYING TO SERVE IN ABIA STATE.
Governor Alex C. Otti of Abia State approved a new NYSC (corps members) allowance structure. With the little money he gets , he is doing big things .
All NYSC members serving in Abia State: ₦20,000 monthly state allowance.
Those serving in Abia State Government establishments: extra ₦10,000 (making ₦30,000 state allowance).
Teaching and medical corps members: extra ₦30,000 (making ₦50,000 state allowance).
This is in addition to the Federal NYSC allowance of ₦77,000, meaning a regular corps member in Abia could receive about ₦97,000 per month total (₦77,000 federal + ₦20,000 state).
Teaching/medical corps members could receive about ₦127,000 total (₦77,000 + ₦50,000).
There were delays in starting the payment, but Otti yesterday directed officials to remove administrative obstacles and begin implementation immediately.
