Six Things Do After NYSC Relocation Approval

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a mandatory one-year program for Nigerian graduates who are below the age of 30.

The program aims to promote national integration, social development, and skill acquisition among the youth. However, some graduates may wish to relocate from their original state of deployment to another state for various reasons, such as security, health, marriage, or personal preference.

The NYSC allows such graduates to apply for relocation online or in the orientation camp, subject to certain conditions and approval. This post will guide you on what to do after your NYSC relocation approval and how to settle in your new state of service.

How to Check and Print Your NYSC Relocation Letter

After you have applied for NYSC relocation, you need to check the status of your application online and print your relocation letter if it is approved.

The relocation letter serves as an official document that confirms your relocation and authorizes you to report to your new state of service.

To check and print your NYSC relocation letter, follow these steps:

• Visit the NYSC portal via https://portal.nysc.org.ng
• Log in with your email and password.
• Click on “Manage Relocation.”
• If your relocation request is approved, you will see a notification and a link to print your relocation letter.
• Click on the link and print your relocation letter in PDF format.

You should print at least two copies of your relocation letter, one for yourself and one for submission to the NYSC authorities.

How to Report to Your New State of Service

After you have printed your NYSC relocation letter, you need to report to your new state of service and submit your letter to the NYSC officials.

This will enable them to register you and assign you a new place of primary assignment (PPA) in your new state.

What to Do Next After NYSC Relocation Approval

To report to your new state of service, follow these steps:

1. Travel to Your New State

Travel to your new state of service as soon as possible. You should not delay your reporting for more than 21 days after your relocation approval, otherwise, your relocation may be canceled.

2. Report to the NYSC Secretariat

Go to the NYSC state secretariat in your new state and submit your relocation letter to the state coordinator or the designated officer.

You will also need to present your NYSC identity card and other relevant documents, such as your call-up letter, green card, and clearance letter from your previous state of service.

3. Submit Your Letter of Relocation

The NYSC official will verify your documents and register you in their database. You will be given a new state code and a new PPA letter.

You will also be informed of the date and venue of your monthly clearance and community development service (CDS) meetings.

4. Obtain a New PPA (Place of Primary Assignment)

Go to your new PPA and submit your PPA letter to your employer. You will need to obtain an acceptance letter from your employer, indicating that they have accepted you to serve in their organization.

If your employer rejects you, you will need to return to the NYSC state secretariat and request for a new PPA.

5. Inform Your New LGI (Local Government Inspector)

Make sure to notify your new LGI about your relocation. Provide any necessary documents or information they may require.

6. Participate in All NYSC Activities

Once you have settled in your new PPA, you should resume your service duties and participate in the NYSC activities in your new state.

You should also update your personal and bank details on the NYSC portal to ensure that you receive your monthly allowance and other benefits.

Conclusion

The NYSC relocation is a process that allows graduates to change their state of deployment for valid reasons and with approval from the NYSC authorities.

After your NYSC relocation approval, you need to check and print your relocation letter, report to your new state of service, and adjust to your new environment.
