The National Youth Service Corps has requested that married women who have been sent to states other than those where their spouses reside request redeployment.

On Monday, the scheme revealed this via its Twitter account.

They are referred to as PMCs until they are sworn in as eligible participants in the scheme at the various camps to which they are assigned.

After being sworn in, they are referred to as “corps members” and, beginning on the day of deployment, they spend a total of 21 days at camp.

In a tweet with the subject line “ATTENTION ALL 2023 BATCH “A” STREAM 2 MARRIED FEMALE PCMs,” the scheme “All married female PCMs who are deployed to states where their husbands are not domiciled should report to the nearest NYSC Orientation Camp for their State of Deployment to be changed,” it was stated.

“They are to report during the period of registration at the Orientation Camps with copies of their marital and other relevant documents as evidence.”

On May 22, 1973, the Nigerian government launched the NYSC program, a program designed to engage Nigerian graduates in nation-building and national development.

The program was designed “with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity,” according to decree No. 24, on which it was founded.

A graduate must be under 30 years old when they graduate in order to be eligible for the Scheme. A graduate who completed their degree before turning 30 but skipped the service year will still be eligible because their diploma was issued before they turned 30.

But people over 30 receive a Certificate of Exemption, which is comparable to a NYSC Discharge Certificate.

Successful Corps members receive a certificate for satisfactorily engaging in the program at the conclusion of their service year.
