The National Youth Service Corps has disowned a viral notice claiming that a special window for corps members’ redeployment was open.

The scheme flagged the notice on its verified X handle as fake on Friday.

The fraudulent notice, styled as an “URGENT NOTICE: NYSC REDEPLOYMENT,” was addressed to “Parents/Guardians” and claimed the redeployment window was “now open” because of “issues of National Security, Health, and State of the Nation.”

It urged “Corps Members with genuine grounds” to “apply on time to ensure their safety, proper placement, and timely completion of service.”

The notice also asked those seeking help to “please contact” two listed phone numbers “ASAP,” adding that “valid documents are required and all applications must follow NYSC guidelines.” Related News Anambra agency arrests mother, accomplice for selling baby ₦2.9m Our country looks to you for fresh ideas, Akwa Ibom gov tells corps members Enugu gov approves land for ITF’s digital fabrication centre
