Ibadan has become a preferred destination for corps members, thanks to its relatively low cost of living and the increase in the Oyo State government allowance from ₦5,000 to ₦15,000. However, this increased allowance only applies to corps members working under the state ministry. Those in private organizations receive only their employer’s salary.
To help prospective corps members find well-paying placements, we have compiled a list of the highest-paying NYSC Places of Primary Assignment (PPA) in Ibadan.
