Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi says the state will improve welfare for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in Jigawa. Speaking at the Yakubu Gowon NYSC Orientation Camp in Fanisau, Dutse, he promises an upward review of allowances and renovation of the orientation camp facilities.
According to reports, Namadi links the allowance plan to current economic conditions, including rising inflation. One outlet says the state currently pays NYSC members a ₦5,000 monthly allowance and is planning an increase to help cushion the impact on corps members. Other coverage focuses more on the welfare commitments generally, including upgrading the camp, without detailing the exact increase.
Across the sources, the common point is that Namadi announces these measures while addressing a batch of newly oriented “Batch C” corps members, presenting the steps as support for service personnel posted to Jigawa.
