Abia State Governor Alex Otti has given automatic employment to nine former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members who received the presidential honours awards at the end of their service year.
Otti announced the automatic jobs while receiving the ex-corps members led by the NYSC Coordinator in Abia State, Gladys Adama, in his office on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.
The governor directed the State Head of Service to issue them appointment letters with immediate effect.
He stated: “On behalf of the state government, you are going to leave here with a token; but beyond the token, I hereby temporarily lift the embargo on employment to employ the nine of you, except if any of you is not interested.
“So, having lifted that embargo and having employed all of you, I also close the embargo.”
He directed the Abia State Attorney-General to communicate to the head of service to effect the employment of the nine former NYSC members without interviews.
“So, all you need to do is to go and do your documentation, and then you can start work on Monday,” Otti added.
