Under a new arrangement, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) will henceforth allow prospective corps members to determine where they wish to serve.

The plan known as “self-deployment scheme”, according to the NYSC, is expected to curb fraud, which it said, was often associated with the earlier method of deployment of prospective corps members.

The development was part of resolutions from a workshop on NYSC 2015 Batch ‘B’ pre-mobilisation in Kaduna.

In a communique at the end of the workshop yesterday, the NYSC said: “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 solution.

“Given the negative implications of assigning invalid or wrong 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 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (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 on-line registration from prospective corps members and corps producing institutions will henceforth be lodged with Deployment and Relocation Officers at the NYSC state secretariats for onward transmission to the ICT Department for necessary action.
