NYSC: What to Do If You’re Married and Wrongly Posted
If you’re a married woman who has just registered for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, you might be wondering how to ensure that you’re posted to the same state as your husband.
The NYSC scheme is a mandatory one-year service for Nigerian graduates below the age of 30, which aims to foster national unity and development. However, it can also pose some challenges for married couples who want to stay together during this period.
According to the NYSC official website, married women are entitled to concessional posting, which means that they can apply to be posted to the state where their husbands reside. To do this, they need to provide some documents as evidence of their marital status, such as:
- Marriage certificate or affidavit
- Newspaper change of name
- Husband’s residence permit
- Utility bill
- Letter from husband’s employer
- Husband’s ID card
These documents should be uploaded online during the registration process and also submitted physically at the orientation camp.
However, sometimes, due to human or technical errors, some married women may still be posted to a different state from their husbands.
Married But Wrongly Posted
If this happens to you, don’t panic. There are some steps you can take to rectify the situation.
First, you should report the issue to the NYSC officials at the orientation camp and explain your situation. They may be able to reassign you to another state or redeploy you after the orientation.
You should also contact your husband and ask him to write a letter of request for your redeployment to his state of residence. He should attach copies of the same documents you submitted online and at the camp. He should also include your call-up letter and your statement of result.
Next, you should submit the letter and the documents to the NYSC state coordinator of the state where you were posted. You should do this as soon as possible, preferably within the first week of the orientation. You should also follow up with the NYSC officials regularly and politely until your case is resolved.
Finally, you should be patient and optimistic. Sometimes, it may take a while for the NYSC authorities to process your redeployment request. However, if you have valid reasons and sufficient evidence, you have a high chance of getting your desired posting.
Remember that the NYSC scheme is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve your country and learn new skills. Don’t let the posting issue dampen your spirit or affect your performance. You can still make the best out of your service year wherever you are.
