Ayade made the announcement on Monday at the closing ceremony for the 2018 ‘Batch B’ Orientation Course at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Obubra Local Government Area of the state.
The governor, represented by the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr Asu Okang, said that the upward review became necessary following the high cost of goods and services in the country.
According to him, the increase will spur corps members in the state to give in their best in service and community development.
“Dear corps members, I must salute you for the successful completion of your three weeks orientation programme which I believe was interesting.
“I am happy to announce to all of you that we have increased your monthly allowance from N3,100 to N5,000 starting from your batch,’’ he said.
He described corps members as trustees of the nation, noting that their valid contributions in all sectors of the economy cannot be underestimated.
“Since the creation of Cross River, the largest contributor to the socio-economic development of the state is the NYSC.
