BY EDMOND ODOK – The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says a change of name will no longer be a requirement for married female corps members seeking redeployment from their place of primary assignment.
This new directive is contained in a circular signed by the Service’s Director of Corps Mobilisation, Abubakar Mohammed, and issued to Directors, and Acting Directors as well as State and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Coordinators.
Dated 25th November 25 and titled; “Review of criteria for concessional, deployment/relocation for married female corps members”, the circular revealed that the management has approved the review of criteria for the approval of concessional deployment/relocation of married female corps members.
According to the circular, State coordinators are henceforth 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”, the memo added.
Meanwhile, the State and the FCT Coordinators are to ensure strict compliance with the directives, while the Directors of Area Offices have been mandated to monitor its implementation.
