The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has introduced a self-deployment system to enable prospective corps members choose where they wish to serve.

This was part of resolutions at the end of the 2015 Batch ‘B’ pre-mobilisation workshop which held in Kaduna.

Similarly, pregnant women, nursing mothers and students undergoing postgraduate studies have been banned from participating in the scheme until they are free to enlist for the service.

The NYSC, in a communique issued at the end of the meeting, said the new system of self-deployment is aimed at addressing the fraudulent activities associated with the previous method of deploying prospective corps members.

“In a bid to tackle the problem of deluge of concessional requests with which the NYSC is being inundated, prospective corps members will henceforth be given the opportunity to choose states of their choice outside their socio-cultural and linguistic areas, using ICT,” the communique said.

It added: “Given the negative implications of assigning invalid or wrong Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) numbers to prospective corps members during the mobilisation process, corps-producing institutions have been advised to always take advantage of the window of opportunity created by the JAMB and regularise the admission of their graduates and advise the affected graduates to activate such numbers before presenting them for mobilisation.

“For us to bring administration nearer to everybody, complaints and issues arising from the online registration from prospective corps members and corps producing institutions will henceforth be lodged with the Deployment and Relocation officers at the NYSC state secretariats for onward transmission to the ICT department for necessary action.

“It was further resolved that pregnant women and nursing mothers and students engaged in postgraduate studies should not bother to enlist for service until they are free to participate effectively.”

The Director General of NYSC, Brig.- Gen. Johnson Olawumi, had on Wednesday at the opening of the workshop announced that henceforth, prospective corps members with First Class degrees and their counterparts who graduated with distinction from the polytechnics, would be posted to the universities for their primary assignments.

The workshop was attended by directors and heads of units at the NYSC, as well as representatives of stakeholders in the education sector which include the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), JAMB, the Nigerian Army, universities, polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of education.

To bring positive changes and programm in the country is never a problem, , the problem is implementation and. Continuity.
I remember during my service year, we were forced to serve in schools, Lg, and specific sectors like Agric and health. That was the point you start seeing poor schools you would not even think of going to on a good day rejecting corpers, because they knew we had no choice.Even with that people served in private institututions.

I finished with a first class, but hell no, a tertiary institutution will not have been an option, I prefer going to a private org and start building my career.
