The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that married female corps members seeking redeployment will no longer be required to change their names. This decision was made public through a circular signed by the Director of Corps Mobilisation, Abubakar Mohammed, on November 25, 2024.
The circular, titled “Review of Criteria for Concessional Deployment/Relocation for Married Female Corps Members,” states 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 should inform married female corps members that changing their maiden name to that of their spouse is no longer a requirement for redeployment. However, other requirements remain the same.
