Governor directs immediate implementation of NYSC allowances
Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has directed the immediate removal of administrative bottlenecks delaying the implementation of the approved allowances of the members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in the state.
The governor gave the directive on Tuesday when the new State Coordinator of the NYSC, Yunusa Tanimu, paid him a visit in his office.
During the visit in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area, Otti said: “I am surprised that the extra allowance that I approved has not been implemented.
“Please, can you ensure that whatever it is, is dealt with immediately?
“The last time, I was told it’s about BVN, and I’m sure I tried to solve it.
“So, if there is any other problem, please, can you get the Head of Service to solve it?”
Otti reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of corps members, noting their contributions to education, healthcare, and other critical sectors of the state’s development.
He congratulated Tanimu on his posting to Abia State.
Earlier, Tanimu said he was on a courtesy visit following his assumption of office as the NYSC State Coordinator in Abia State.
He appealed for the full implementation of the approved allowance for corps members serving in the state.
The coordinator commended the governor for his developmental strides, particularly in infrastructure, and appreciated the administration’s sustained support to the NYSC.
He appealed to the state government to intervene in the renovation of corps members’ hostels and the multi-purpose hall at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Umunna, and construction of internal roads at the camp.
He also appealed to the government for installation of solar-powered street lights at the camp, augmentation of orientation camp logistics, approval of enhanced allowances, provision of a new state secretariat, and approval of funds for furnishing the office.
Tanimu assured the governor of the scheme’s continued commitment to supporting the development of Abia State and Nigeria.
