Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has approved a monthly allowance of ₦20,000 for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who are indigenes of the state and are serving in any part of the country.
This move comes shortly after the state government raised the monthly stipend for corps members serving within Akwa Ibom from ₦5,000 to ₦20,000. The new rate takes effect from August 1, 2025.
According to a statement from the Government House in Uyo on Tuesday, the approval was part of the key outcomes of the State Executive Council meeting held on Monday.
Governor Eno said the decision is in line with his administration’s Renewed Hope – ARISE Youth Support Initiative, aimed at alleviating living costs and enhancing the welfare of corps members.
The statement added that the allowance would be reviewed periodically, depending on economic conditions.
