The Zamfara State Government has approved the payment of allowances to National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving across the state, reaffirming its commitment to the welfare of young graduates participating in the national service scheme.

Governor Dauda Lawal approved the disbursement of the allowances, which will benefit corps members from various batches deployed to the state. The move is aimed at easing the financial burden on the corps members and encouraging them to contribute meaningfully to community development during their service year.

State officials said the payment covers eligible corps members serving in different parts of Zamfara and forms part of the administration's efforts to improve the welfare and morale of young people working in the state.

The government noted that supporting corps members remains a priority, given their role in education, healthcare, agriculture, and other sectors where they provide essential services to local communities.

The approval has been welcomed by corps members and stakeholders, who described it as a positive step toward enhancing the NYSC experience in Zamfara State.

The development is expected to strengthen the relationship between the state government and corps members while promoting a conducive environment for national service.
