Gov Nwifuru approves N30,000 monthly allowance for Ebonyi Corps members
Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has approved a monthly stipend of ₦30,000 for every National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member deployed to the state.
The governor announced the initiative during the official swearing-in ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II corps members at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Afikpo.
Delivering the address on behalf of the Governor, the Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports, Chidiebere Onyia, reassured the incoming corps members of the administration’s steadfast commitment to their security and well-being.
He described Ebonyi as a hospitable, peaceful, and opportunity-rich state, urging the corps members to leverage the service year for personal development, cross-cultural integration, and community building.
”This administration remains committed to supporting your growth, welfare, and safety,” Onyia stated on Friday, encouraging the corps members to contribute meaningfully to their primary assignments across the state.
While commending the Ebonyi State Government for its sustained partnership and investment in youth development, the NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs. Malgwi Maidariya, highlighted critical infrastructure needs at the orientation facility located at Old MacGregor College, Afikpo.
Maidariya appealed for state intervention in key physical upgrades, including modernisation of the central camp kitchen and construction of a standard dining facility.
Establishment of a fully equipped Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) centre, structural perimeter fence renovation, and facility upgrades inside the multi-purpose hall.
Addressing the corps members, she emphasised the imperative of discipline, active participation in camp programs, and adherence to the foundational values of patriotism, integrity, and selfless service.
She further extended appreciation to camp officials, resource personnel, and collaborating security agencies for maintaining order and operational efficiency throughout the orientation period.
The swearing-in ceremony featured several key proceedings.
Among them were the formal signing and taking of the oath of allegiance by the newly sworn-in corps members, tactical drills presented by the Man ‘O’ War unit alongside traditional ceremonial performances, and official walkthrough and evaluation of infrastructure development projects within the camp grounds.
