The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that married female corps members will no longer need to change their names for redeployment.
This update was detailed in a circular signed by the Director of Corps Mobilisation, Abubakar Mohammed, which was sent to directors, acting directors, and state and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) coordinators.
The circular, titled “Review of criteria for concessional deployment/relocation for married female corps members,” stated that the NYSC management has approved revisions to the criteria for granting concessional deployment or relocation for married female corps members.
It specifically noted that state coordinators should be informed that “changing a maiden name to that of a spouse is no longer a requirement for the approval of such requests by married female corps members. Other requirements remain unchanged.”
