Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has approved an increase in the monthly state allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in the state from ₦5,000 to ₦20,000.
The increase will take effect from August 1, 2025.
The governor made this announcement during the second day of the state delivery meeting on Friday, July 4, 2025, at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Uyo.
He explained that the increment was to support the Federal Government’s ₦77,000 monthly allowance, helping corps members meet their basic needs.
“Over 10,000 corps members are posted to Akwa Ibom annually. We must continue to encourage and support them,” Eno said.
