Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has announced an increment in the allowance of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members deployed to the state, from N10,000 to N20,000, effective December 2024.
Governor Fintiri made this announcement during the opening ceremony of the NYSC Batch C Stream 1 orientation course at the Damare camp in Girei Local Government Area.
The Governor congratulated the corps members on their successful graduation from various institutions across the country. He assured them of a peaceful atmosphere in the state and encouraged them to contribute to the state’s development.
Governor Fintiri also reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring the security of corps members deployed to Adamawa. He urged them to exchange ideas and engage in self-employment opportunities, as white-collar jobs are scarce in the labor market.
Earlier, the State Coordinator of the NYSC, Mr. Ateli Samson, expressed gratitude to the Governor for his continued support towards the development and welfare of corps members in Adamawa. He requested the Governor’s intervention in the general fencing of the camp to ensure the safety of corps members.
A total of 1,500 corps members were registered at the camp. Highlights of the event included oath-taking and a tug-of-war competition.
