Taraba state governor, Agbu Kefas, has approved the payment of N50,000 medical allowance to members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to schools across the state.
The state’s Commissioner for Information and Re-orientation, Zainab Usman, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
She said the governor also approved N25,000 as accommodation allowance per term and N10,000 as monthly support from the state government.
She said he gave the approval due to the high increase in school enrollment as a result of the government’s declaration of free basic education, uniforms and other learning materials.
“The surge in new enrollments witnessed in our primary and secondary schools over the past ten working days has necessitated immediate action,” Mrs Usman said.
