The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has confirmed that married female corps members seeking redeployment will no longer be required to change their names.
This is disclosed in a circular signed by the service’s Director Corps Mobilisation, Abubakar Mohammed.
The circular noted that management has approved the review of criteria for approving concessional deployment/relocation of married female corps members.
It stated that state coordinators are to be informed that “Changing a maiden name to that of a spouse is no longer a requirement for the approval of such request by married female corps members.
“Other requirements remain as they were.”
It maintained that state/FCT Coordinators are to ensure strict compliance with the directives, and directors area offices are to monitor the implementation.
