The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has released an important directive for married female Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) of the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream 1. This announcement, designed to improve the comfort and stability of affected individuals, focuses on ensuring that married PCMs serve in locations where they can reside with their spouses.
Key Details of the NYSC Notice
According to an official update shared on November 25, 2024, via the NYSC’s X (formerly Twitter) account, married female PCMs deployed to states different from their husband’s domicile must take specific steps to request a change of deployment.
What Married PCMs Should Do
To facilitate this process, married female PCMs must:
- Report to the Nearest Orientation Camp: Visit the NYSC Orientation Camp in the state of initial deployment during the designated registration period.
- Provide Supporting Documents: Submit copies of their marital documents, such as marriage certificates, proof of change of name (if applicable), and evidence of their husband’s domicile, to process the change.
- Update on the Dashboard: Once the change is approved, the updated deployment details will be reflected on their NYSC dashboard, allowing them to reprint their deployment letter.
Why Compliance Matters
This directive prioritizes the welfare of married female PCMs by enabling them to complete their service year while staying close to their families. The NYSC’s initiative not only fosters a supportive environment for married women but also demonstrates the scheme’s commitment to accommodating unique personal circumstances.
In the official statement, the NYSC emphasized the importance of adhering to this process to ensure a seamless transition. Here’s an excerpt from their announcement:
