NYSC Exposes Fake Redeployment Notice, Warns Corps Members Against Scammers
Oluwatobi Adu 
ABUJA, Nigeria – The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has disowned a fake redeployment notice circulating on social media, warning corps members not to fall victim to fraudsters promising unofficial postings.
The scheme issued the clarification on Friday through its verified X (formerly Twitter) account after the misleading notice gained traction online.
NYSC described the document, titled “Urgent Notice: NYSC Redeployment,” as fake, stressing that it did not originate from the scheme.
The false notice claimed that a special redeployment window had been opened on security, health and other humanitarian grounds, directing corps members to contact unofficial phone numbers and submit personal documents.
Rejecting the claims, NYSC reiterated that all deployment and redeployment applications are processed exclusively through its official channels.
The scheme cautioned corps members against making payments or dealing with individuals claiming to facilitate redeployment outside the approved process.
It noted that fraudsters frequently exploit redeployment exercises to defraud unsuspecting corps members and their families.
NYSC advised prospective and serving corps members to verify all announcements through its official website and verified social media platforms before taking any action.
