The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced a major policy shift, removing the requirement for married female corps members to change their maiden names to their spouse’s names as a condition for redeployment.
This development was outlined in a circular dated November 25, 2024, and signed by the Director of Corps Mobilisation, Abubakar Mohammed. Titled “Review of Criteria for Concessional Deployment/Relocation for Married Female Corps Members,” the document clarified that other existing requirements for redeployment remain unchanged.
The circular instructed state and FCT coordinators to ensure strict compliance, while area directors were tasked with monitoring its implementation.
