How NYSC Direct Posting Works and the Risks Involved

By / 53 Comments / October 2, 2025

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) assigns Nigerian graduates to different states for one year of service. NYSC posts corps members based on its selection process. This system prevents posting to a corps member’s state of origin or institution to uphold the scheme’s goal of fostering national unity. NYSC Direct Posting came in as a way of circumventing this process.

NYSC Direct Posting


How Does NYSC Direct Posting Work?

Direct posting allows corps members to bypass the usual NYSC selection process and get posted to a preferred state. Simply put, it involves using personal connections or financial influence to manipulate the posting outcome.

Although some people openly discuss it, direct posting remains secretive and varies in execution.

For instance, some individuals claim to have direct links to NYSC officials and charge high fees to influence postings. Others operate through informal networks, where influential figures such as politicians or high-ranking civil servants allegedly pull strings to secure placements in desirable states like Lagos or Abuja.

However, NYSC does not officially recognize direct posting.

While the scheme provides concessional posting for specific categories of prospective corps members (PCMs), it has well-defined criteria and strictly enforced requirements. In contrast, direct posting often requires nothing more than meeting an “influencer’s” demands.

Be Careful When Seeking Direct Posting

Since direct posting relies on personal influence, many PCMs fall victim to fraudsters who promise to secure postings to highly sought-after states like Lagos, Abuja, and Rivers due to their job opportunities.

In some cases, successful postings are not guaranteed. Many prospective corps members are left stranded after paying huge sums with no results. These scammers often claim to have NYSC connections, so they collect payment and then disappear.

To avoid falling victim, exercise caution when dealing with anyone offering direct posting services.

Is NYSC Direct Posting Legal?

NYSC has repeatedly warned corps members not to pay for postings. Aside from the risk of losing money to scammers, those caught attempting to influence their posting may face penalties.

In conclusion, although NYSC strongly discourages direct posting, it may still appeal to those who have specific plans for their service year.

    Hy Local man, a lovely afternoon to you!

    Please my DOB on my jamb profile reads 2003 while the one on my school credentials is 2002 but I swore an affidavit. I read in one of your replies that NYSC does not accept affidavits. I don’t know if I’m cooked😞😞
    Is there a way I can rectify this?

    God day sir
    I have a question about my names on my documents.
    I use first name: John, surname: Okoro
    On my documents

    But my nin uses first name: John, surname: Okoro, Middle name: Victor.

    Will this pose to be an issue for me during registration?

    Thank you and God bless you.

    I’d have a question…

    When is the actual time to file for relocation?

    Is it during the first registration, that’s 4 November or during when you are inside camp, abi na after camp.

    If you say na during when you are inside camp, so in summary na NYSC go automatical post you to any state during your registration then if you don’t like the state thats when you can press for relocation?????

        I’m actually very new to all these, for example I wished to be posted at kanu, and I met you so we had an agreement and maybe you did your magic what is that called.. relocation or direct posting????

        Secondly

        When should I meet you for that discussion, is it immediately I register for NYSC or when I’m in the camp???

            Okay thank you very much for the response….now the direct posting, when will it take effect, is it when we are registering on the 4 November or during when we’re already in camp?

    Good evening local man,
    I registered for nysc in the last stream 2 and got my call up number the weekend before the call up letters came out so i was not able to do direct posting. I was posted to a very known unsafe state but took it as God’s plan and left for camp as scheduled taking all the security protocols advised. Unfortunately during the journey the vehicle i was in was intercepted but somehow by the grace of God i wasn’t harmed.
    I was told that the only option was to revalidate in the next batch but now i am really afraid of travelling so i wanted to ask:
    1) If i can still do direct posting with revalidation?
    2)I heard it is not possible because sometimes the call up numbers comes out very late, is it possible to use the old call up number to avoid this?
    3)I studied a medical course so i don’t know what to do because i know you don’t do direct posting for us but maybe you know someone who can help or if you have an advice? I just want to know what to do. Thank you

      Good evening Nana. It’s quite intelligent of you not to mention any state in bad light. Yes, you can revalidate for Batch C once the registration portal opens.

      Look forward to my announcement on the channel for direct posting. There’s possibility I might accept medical courses though it’s not sure yet.

    I was given a call up number without a letter in the last batch.
    I just wanted to confirm if I’ll still be using that same number or if I’ll be issued a new one.
    Also, if I want to apply for direct posting, should I do it immediately registration starts or wait until others start receiving their call up numbers?

    Hello good day
    Please I want to confirm about this NERD policy
    I’ve been on senate list since 2023, but never proceeded to register for nysc until this coming batch C 1. Do i still need the nerd clearance and also what does it take for me to be posted to Kaduna state for camp and PPA after registration. What are the processes involved. Thank you

    Hello Local Man,
    I want to ask you about nysc
    Please is it possible to graduate this year August and go with batch C of nysc coming up? Or we have to wait for batch A

    Reply
    1. Local Man

      Hello Heyzed,
      Yes, it’s possible but it depends on your school’s timing. If your school can process your final clearance, approve your senate list, and send it to NYSC before Batch C upload closes you can join Batch C.

      However, if your school delays mobilization or the senate list upload, then you’ll have to wait for Batch A next year. You can check updates on schools that have uploaded here.

      Good Afternoon Local man
      I wanted to also ask about this direct posting stuff

      Is it possible to work my PPA to be in another state other than my husband’s domicile state.
      I’m married.

      1. Local Man

        Good afternoon Naza 😊

        No, NYSC’s direct posting for married women only applies to your husband’s domicile state. That’s where they’ll post you if your documents (marriage certificate, husband’s ID, utility bill, etc.) are verified. You can’t request posting to another state under “married” status. The other available option is to influence it through direct posting.

    Good morning, Local man. Please how is it possible for my school to not have created senate list since last year we have graduated, but will just do that for us to go with this batch C and now saying we would be merged with the new set that just graduated. Knowing that registration for any 2025 graduates hasn’t started. Is that possible ?
    Are they not trying to find a way to make us tarry again till another new set ?
    Cause I believe portal is always open for a specific year graduates at a time to upload their senate list. Thank you

      Unfortunately, I’m not in any position to question or judge the decision of your School about how they choose to mobilize their students for NYSC? You don’t have a say in the matter as well so all you can do is to be patient.

    Good morning sir. Please I’d like to ask few questions
    I just got my call up number this morning
    1. Is there a possibility that if call up letter starts dropping I’ll be given cos I kinda lost hope about going with this batch since I didn’t see call up number earlier
    2. ⁠if the call up letter drops and I don’t go will I be able to go with next batch and I’ll do direct posting will the state change?

      Good evening Olivia.

      1. Having a call-up number is strong indication that you’ll be deployed to camp with this batch. However, you need to wait for the call-up letter to be released to be sure you’ll indeed be going to camp or have been shifted to the next batch.

      2. If you’re deployed and you choose not to report in camp, you can revalidate with the next batch. With the right person influencing it, the direct posting will work since it’s a new batch, not the second stream of a batch.

      There are few cases where some PCMs takes their ride to camp even though it’s not common. Parking space will definitely be available to keep yours. Just so you know, you won’t be allowed to use the car during the 3 weeks orientation course.

    Please I want to know if a person forfeits going to camp and revalidates later or in the next batch will the person have to wait a long time before another call up letter or number is out or will the person be considered first( call up sent immediately after revalidation).

      I understand your plight. Like I explained in the article, most people influence their posting because they have a job on ground that they can’t afford to lose. I already provided the instructions for those interested in direct posting. Follow it.
