Abia State Governor Alex Otti has announced plans to begin paying monthly stipends to National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members assigned to government-owned institutions in the state.
He revealed this on Friday at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Umunna, Bende Local Government Area, during the official opening of the 2025 Batch “B” Stream 1 Orientation Course.
Otti, who commended the NYSC’s vital role in promoting national unity and development, emphasized his administration’s commitment to supporting and fostering patriotic values among young graduates.
The governor stated, “We are planning to introduce a monthly state stipend that will reflect current economic realities, especially for those of you posted to state-owned institutions.”
He urged NYSC members to build bridges of love, harmony, and productive integration throughout the state, encouraging them to actively contribute to its development.
Additionally, he advised the corps members to manage their finances carefully by prioritizing savings and to take advantage of the business funding opportunities available through the NYSC during their service year.
Governor Otti also reminded NYSC members to take the security guidelines they received seriously and to maintain dedication and discipline in their conduct.
