Married, pregnant or nursing mothers can now serve in spouse's resident state- NYSC DG

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has introduced a new policy to the mobilisation process by allowing married women, pregnant and nursing mothers to present documents that show evidence of their being married to camp officials with proof of their husbands being resident in a particular state, and then get registered in that state without approaching the scheme for redeployment.

DURING a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, the Director General, NYSC, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, who was represented by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs. Adenike Adeyemi, said; “All married, pregnant and nursing mothers not deployed to their husbands’ place of domicile can now proceed to the NYSC camps within their spouses’ state of residence but must present for registration in addition to other documents, evidence of marriage, husband’s Identity, and evidence of husband’s place of domicile.”

On the prevention of the spread of Covid-19 during the orientation exercise, he mentioned that the collaboration with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is still on, insisting that for the safety of all prospective corps members (PCMs) and staff, Covid-19 protocols are still very much in place.

He added that there will be compulsory use of face masks, two-meter social distancing, and other non-pharmaceutical Covid-19 safety protocols in all camps.
