If you are a corps member serving in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program in Nigeria, you may have some reasons to request a relocation to another state. One of the most common reasons is health grounds.
In this blog post, I will explain what you need to know about NYSC relocation on health grounds, how to apply for it, and what documents you need to submit.
NYSC relocation on health grounds is a provision that allows corps members with serious or chronic medical conditions to serve in a state that is more conducive for their health and well-being.
For example, if you have asthma, you may want to relocate from a state with high air pollution to a state with cleaner air. Or if you have a heart condition, you may want to relocate from a state with high altitude to a state with lower altitude.
Requirements for NYSC Relocation
To apply for NYSC relocation on health grounds, you need to meet some requirements. First, you need to have a medical report from a recognized hospital or clinic that confirms your diagnosis and recommends relocation. Second, you need to submit a handwritten letter to support your application.
