Otti Directs Immediate Implementation of NYSC Allowances
Gov. Alex Otti of Abia 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 Abia.
Otti gave the directive in his office, on Tuesday, while receiving the New State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mr Yunusa Tanimu, in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area.
“I am surprised that the extra allowance that I approved had not been implemented. “Please, can you ensure that whatever it is is dealt with immediately.
“The last time, I was told it was 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.
Otti congratulated Tanimu on his posting to Abia.
Earlier, Tanimu said he was on a courtesy visit following his assumption of office as the NYSC State Coordinator in Abia.
Tanimu 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 the construction of internal roads at the camp.
He also appealed to the government for the 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 and Nigeria. #Otti Directs Immediate Implementation of NYSC Allowances#
