The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that change of name will no longer be a requirement for married female corps members seeking redeployment.
This is stated in a circular signed by the service’s Director Corps Mobilisation, Abubakar Mohammed, and distributed to directors, Assistant Directors State and Federal Capital Territory, and FCT Coordinators.
The circular dated November 25, 2024, titled “Review of criteria for concessional deployment/relocation for married female corps members,” revealed that the NYSC has approved the review of criteria for the approval of concessional deployment/relocation of married female corps members.
It also stated that state coordinators are to henceforth be informed that “changing a maiden name to that of a spouse is no longer a requirement for the approval of such a request by married female corps members. Other requirements remain as they were.”
It urged that state/FCT coordinators are to ensure strict compliance with the directives, and directors area offices are to monitor the implementation.
