The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has advised married female prospective corps members posted to states other than the one their husbands reside to request redeployment.
This was disclosed by the scheme on Monday via its Twitter handle.
Until eligible participants of the scheme are sworn in in the various camps they are deployed to, they are referred to as Prospective Corps members (PCMs).
Once sworn in, they become “corps members” and they spend a total of 21 days on camp, starting from the day of deployment.
In a tweet titled, ‘ATTENTION ALL 2023 BATCH ‘A’ STREAM 2 MARRIED FEMALE PCMs’, NYSC wrote: “All married female Prospective Corps members (PCMs) who are deployed to states where their husbands are not domiciled should report to the nearest NYSC Orientation Camp for their State of Deployment to be changed.
“They are to report during the period of registration at the Orientation Camps with copies of their marital and other relevant documents as evidence”.
NYSC was established by the Nigerian government on 22nd May 1973, to involve Nigerian graduates in nation-building and the development of the country.
Decree No. 24, its enabling law, states that the scheme was created “with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity”.
