After NYSC Relocation What Next? This is a question many corp members will ask about having processed NYSC relocation successfully.

In this article, we are going to provide you with credible answers to questions regarding NYSC relocation, redeployment, and procedure

What NYSC Relocation Is All About

It is the dream of every graduate going in for the compulsory NYSC service year to be posted in the state He/she prefers.

Unlucky for you, NYSC posts you in a state that is not of your choice, let’s say, you wish to serve in Abia state but it happens that you are posted to serve in Kano state.

You can apply to NYSC to change where you are going to do your service year through a process called Redeployment or Relocation

NYSC allows you to relocate. Change of state or redeployment based on marital purpose or health concerns is possible and allowed.

Reasons For Relocation/Redeployment

There are several reasons one would want to do the relocation, the most common reasons are

  • Due to Insecurity in the state
  • Cost of living
  • Married couples may wish to relocate to where they can stay with their spouse
  • Job availability
  • Health challenges
  • Age and other factors

How To Apply For NYSC Relocation

The process of NYSC redeployment is very simple. while carrying out the online registration exercise, the platform provides opportunities for married women and people with life-threatening ailments not only to indicate their status but also to upload their evidence and get automatically posted to their spouses’ places of domicile or health facilities respectively.

This is the first and stress-free method you can get relocation. By this, you will claim married when registering for mobilization.

Then, you’ll be required to upload some documents. NYSC will post you to your husband’s state without further processing or follow-up.

For those who want to use health issues as an excuse to relocate, you’ll select POOR when asked about the state of health during the online registration.

You’ll be asked to upload a doctor’s report too. Then, you will be posted to the state of the doctor or hospital in charge of your health.

Nevertheless, corps members are allowed to apply for relocation on marital or health grounds while in the orientation camps.

Relocation is done electronically. After the camp relocation, all other relocations are carried out three (3) months after the orientation course.

The corps members must apply online and the State Coordinators appropriately recommend online too before the relocations are affected. However, as a policy, all relocations stop six (6) months into the service year.

Once your relocation has been approved without delay, travel to your new state (where you have been relocated) and submit your letter of relocation to the NYSC secretariate where the LI will give you a new PPA (primary place of assignment) in the new state you have relocated to.

Let’s say, for example, Cynthia is posted in Kebbi state but she wants to serve in Osun state, so she will have to apply for NYSC relocation, and once approved, she will travel with the relocation letter down to Osun State NYSC secretariate where she will be assigned a PPA in the state.
