NYSC Directs Married Female Corps Members to Seek Redeployment, Releases Batch ‘B’ Stream 2 Call-Up Letters
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued a directive advising married female corps members who have been posted to states other than where their husbands reside to apply for redeployment.
This information was shared through an announcement on the official X handle of the NYSC on Monday.
According to the statement, married female corps members are eligible to request a change in their deployment location to align with their husband’s state of residence.
To do this, they must present valid documentation proving their marital status, along with other required documents, at the nearest NYSC Orientation Camp during the registration process.
Once the redeployment request has been processed and approved, the new posting will be updated on the corps members’ dashboard, where they can access and reprint their call-up letters.
In a related announcement, the NYSC also informed the public that the call-up letters for the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II prospective corps members have been officially released as of Monday.
Prospective corps members are advised to log into the NYSC portal to download and print their letters ahead of the orientation exercise.

Analyst Says Tinubu Not Responsible for Recent U.S.-Linked Airstrike Claims
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
