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.

This development followed his recent approval for the reconstruction of the NYSC orientation camp at Ikot Itie Idung in Nsit Atai, as part of ongoing efforts to improve the welfare of corps members in the state.
Established in 1973, the NYSC is a one-year compulsory service scheme for Nigerian graduates below the age of 30.
It was created to foster national integration, unity, and development by deploying young graduates to states outside their region of origin for community service, education, and nation-building efforts.
Corps members actively contribute to sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture, and rural development.
