STATE OF DEPLOYMENT NOT MY CHOICE
Many pcm ends up with this saying “STATE OF DEPLOYMENT NOT MY CHOICE“. It usually a sad day for many prospective corps members immediately they realized the fact that they are posted or deployed to a state out of their choice. Here we will give you insight about what you should and conditions to the steps you might want to take.
- I DON’T LIKE THE STATE I GOT DEPLOYED TO
Like we clearly explained in the previous post what Call up Letter entails, this post will clearly explain on some basic thing you need to know as regard redeployment. We have so many cases where prospective corps members are posted or deployed to a state that is not their choice and they find in very difficult to navigate around the issue.
We are glad to announce to you that you are on the right platform as we will better explain how to go about it a bit which might help you resolve the problem in a bit.
- BAD STATE OF DEPLOYMENT
Many prospective corps members have always been a victim of this especially those that study in the south west. Most pcm complains at large about nysc immediately they see their call up letter which prompt many of them asking a question like
Hi. Good evening. I’m Blessing from one of your nysc groups , please I have a question for you.
I was posted to Kano and I really don’t want to go there. Can I just avoid going now and register again later for stream 2, will the state change?
Basically, i will like to explain two things every pcm must know and which will give answer to this question.
The first thing you need to consider is the NYSC bye law stating the punishment behind such act and the risk of re-validating with the next batch or stream.
- NYSC BYE LAW
Any person who fails to report for service in the service corps as directed in the Call-up Letter and/or refuses to make himself available for service in the service corps shall be prosecuted in line with the provisions of Section 13 sub-section 19(a) and (b) of the NYSC Act, Cap. N84, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004. Click here to know more about the NYSC BYE LAWS.
- RISK OF RE-VALIDATING
I was posted to Kano and I really don’t want to go there. Can I just avoid going now and register again later for stream 2, will the state change?
The question is basically point to re-validation with the next stream.
RE-VALIDATION
Re-validation is for those that have successfully registered but did not go to camp due to some reasons best known to them so they re-validate so as to go with the next stream or batch.
The major essence for re-validation is when you are caught unprepared not when you get deployed to a state outside your choice and you feel re-validation is the saving button you have.
- WILL THE STATE CHANGE IF I RE-VALIDATE
Kindly have in mind that when you re-validate, you ‘re still entitled to your submitted documentation. For instance, because you were posted to Kano, then you feel when you re-validate the state will change, M sorry to say it won’t change as long as you had a successful registration earlier before re validating.
If you have a call up number and you could not finish your registration then prospective corps members under this category are sometimes entitled to re-validation and this comes with the requirements of providing your call up number and you continue from where you stop.
- PROS AND CONS OF RE-VALIDATION
Its so surprising that many prospective corps members has the mindset of “if i got posted to a state outside my choice i will definitely not go to camp but re-validate with the next stream‘ not considering the pron and cons.
The procedures in re-validation includes providing the system with your call up number and the condition attached to it include the fact that your state of deployment will not change.
Kindly share if the post has giving you a better understanding about re-validation and how best you can make your choice around it.
