Relocation is like a product or service of National Youth Service (NYSC), and you must know that this service of the scheme is very regulated and most importantly free of charge.

Before we diver into who can get relocated and on what basis, let us talk about the things itself.

NYSC Redeployment or Relocation, like the name says, is the act of changing your state code and deployment.
Every graduating student or prospective corps members are given the opportunity to choice four (4) state in which NYSC will later put or better word post/deploy you into one of the states (that is before, now NYSC will just give you one).

This one state, to have it changed, is what is called NYSC Relocation or Redeployment and it can be done several times, for genuine reason though.

Note everything presented here are the norms and some people’s cases might differ.

How is the Process Carried Out?

With the full computerisation of the operations of NYSC, relocation exercise is done online.

This starts during the online registration exercise, in which the platform provides opportunities for married women and people with life-threatening ailments not only to indicate their status but also upload their evidence and get automatically posted to their spouses’ places of domicile or health facilities respectively.

We are already answering the next question!

But let us continue on this first, corps members are given the opportunity to apply for relocation on marital or health grounds while in the orientation camps. Relocation is done electronically and filled manually especially in place with automatic Redeployment (We will further get into that).

Can I Get Relocated Or Redeployed After Camp?

After the camp relocation is still possible for any corps members who meet the criteria (we will discuss that soon). But such 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 effected.

Can I Redeploy Anytime I Want?

No, (short answer) NYSC policy stop relocations or redeployment untill 3 month after camp or (6) months into the service year

Criteria That Qualify You For Relocation

Relocation happens on 3 (three) major grounds namely: Marital, Health and, Director General (DG) Directives (we wouldn’t get into that)

But there is a fourth sweet spot like it be called! It is insecurity ground.

This sweet spot is no longer available for corp member choice like before when pcm can choose to be posted to Yobe, Borno, Adamawa. It might sound counterintuitive  but Borno is the best of the three.

You posted to Borno from the onset and you don’t end too far north but maybe Katsina, Jigawa or Kano for your camping.

The first two is available and it will be explained.

Marital Reason requires valid documents, such as:

1. Marriage Certificate or Affidavit of Marriage,
Newspaper Change of Name,
2. A Letter indicating the husbands Place of Domicile, which must have been uploaded online during registration and verified in camp.

2. Health
For health grounds, documents upload is likewise required including your doctor’s licence number, details of the aliment and proof.

This is only applicable to those with life threatening ailments. The applicant must support his/her request with his/her Medical History and be ready to appear before a Medical Panel for an interview that will either validate or invalidate the request as the case may be.
