What is NYSC Redeployment?

NYSC Redeployment can thus be referred to as process involved in transferring a corp member from the state of deployment to another more presumed comfortable state.

To Redeploy, is a process that should be initiated by the corp member. Redeployment can only be started in the camp after the swearing in ceremony which can only be implemented only after the camp. There are however laid down conditions/factors that make the redeployment possible.

Reasons for Redeployment or Relocation of Corp Members

It is very vital that you get to know these procedures in advance. There is a lot of stress involved in this process and failure to know this can make it even more difficult a process. The bases upon which you can redeploy include:

Marital Grounds

If you are married, NYSC has made it possible for you to apply for redeployment. This privilege is only opened to female corps members.  The corps members redeploying on this basis are expected to redeploy to their husbands’ State of residence. This restriction is based on the fact that women would mostly be needed at home than their husbands. (Well I don’t know if the moral of that claim is just). That’s the rule anyway.

Those redeploying on the basis of marital grounds would be expected to supply or attach the following:

• A formal letter directed to the director general
• Your Marriage certificate
• A change of name published in one of the national newspapers
• A formal letter from the husband stating his state of residence.

Medical Ground

You can also be considered for redeployment on medical grounds. The medical report coming from an authentic hospital must come with strong medical conditions that would make it difficult for you to stay away from you state of treatment or your family.

Medical reports will/can only be accepted from recognized hospitals such as institution’s medical Centre or a recognized General Hospitals, Military/Police Hospital, Federal Medical Centre’s reports. (See Sample Letter Below)

Your report would undergo scrutiny. The process has become stricter than before. Most of this report are said to be sent to the secretariat in the state where the report was collected for them to verify the hospital and the claims in the report.

Security Basis

The security concerns in our country are well known. With the forceful advent of Boko Haram in most Northern States of Nigeria and the brutal religious killing in most of these areas the life and security of most of these corp members are at high risk. No parents as well as guardians would feel comfortable to leave his or her ward in these danger zones. The NYSC administration has also made it possible for these ones posted to these places to apply for redeployment.

2. Medical Grounds

So many corps members are also considered for redeployment on medical grounds. Corps members are expected to come with a medical report from an NYSC approved hospitals. The ailment or disease these corps members are suffering from must be such that would make it difficult for them to stay away from their State of treatment and their family.

Some of the medical conditions that can be considered for NYSC redeployment are asthma, leukemia, stroke, heart and kidney diseases, HIV/AIDS, etc. For this purpose, NYSC usually accept a Doctor’s Report as well as a letter of redeployment from corps members with the Doctor’s Report attached.
