ToggleNYSC Redeloyment on DG Directives
This is the best but most expensive option for relocating to any state of your choice, such as Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, the state of origin, and others. You will need strong and reliable staff to work it out for you based on the information you offer. You will be asked to pay a fee for this particular relocation, although the other grounds are free.
NYSC Redeloyment on Health Grounds
This particular relocation option is reserved for persons with critical illnesses. If you have a serious illness that is life-threatening, the NYSC management is required to relocate you for free to the state of your choice, which is usually the state where you are receiving treatment.
States such as Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, and the state of origin are excluded, just as they are on the Insecurity basis. For health-related relocation, you will require a true medical report that details the state of your health, and you will be interrogated during the tendering process to determine whether you have the ailment you claim.
Note: A written letter is to be attached.
Be aware that Relocation on Health ground is a (50/50) percent chance because of the mass number of individuals always applying for it.
