How NYSC Direct Posting Works and the Risks Involved

By / 153 Comments / November 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.

    Good evening Local man
    Happy new year 🎊

    Pls, I’d like your advice sir 🥹🥲, NYSC hasn’t been all rosy.
    I am a 25B1 corper, I was initially posted to a pharmaceutical but was rejected, so I had to source for a place but ended up regretting it as I didn’t do proper research so I complained and eventually NYSC changed it after a long while to a community school which has been a thorn in my flesh 😭😭, accepted already and going everyday with #30k payment, transport killed the money already……it’s so trrrible. I reported at the LG but nothing could be done.

    Sir, I wanted to ask if it’s possible I do online reposting now cause it’s really stressful 🤧😢 and I was told at the LG that I can write reposting letter anymore. And I wanted to ask if you do online reposting, not sure if you do.

          I’ve replied this question already. There is nothing like “online reposting”. If you want to change your PPA, approach those guys that influences PPA.

          PS: I don’t do that please and I don’t give recommendations.

      If you have a letter of request from that organization, you can submit it now that you’re in camp. If not, you can employ the services of those who do PPA to help you.

    I’m a foreign trained graduate. A doctor. Please I would like to know if you can post me directly to Lagos. I would prefer a parastatal (NTA, NNPC, NGOs, PHCs, ministry of health, ministry of education) when the time comes

      Pls does direct posting guarantee call up letter because nysc do give call up number without letter in some instances during batch b 2. But what if someone does direct posting is there an assurance that the letter will be released.

    Good evening local man
    How was your day today?
    Please I want to make enquiry about relocation and this January clearance
    I did out camp relocation and it’s yet to click, can it still click before this Friday or I should forget about it this January?
    And about the clearance, I want to forfeit this month clearance because of the long distance and because I already did out camp relocation, hope it won’t affect me and if I go for the February clearance, hope there won’t be any issues whatsoever
    Please Local man, I’ll be gladly waiting for your replies 🙏🙇

      I don’t know about your relocation man so I can’t give advice. As for your clearance, missing clearance doesn’t just end with payment denial, there might be service extension.

    Good evening local man
    Please there’s a company I’m looking forward to work with but I’m a little bit confused on how to go about it.
    I knew someone from a company and the person looks like one of the top person in the company and he assures me that I can work with them if I’m interested. It has been long I spoke with him and right now I don’t know if I should contact the person before going to camp or I should go to camp without informing the person because someone is telling me about collecting a request letter from the company.

      Yes, you can get a request letter and submit it in camp. You may be lucky to get that as your PPA. Meanwhile, you have to work your posting to that state in question first.

    Hello sir.
    I want to go for nysc with the next batch but I cannot leave my state of origin. (Ogunstate, Abeokuta) because i have a Business here and i am also planning to get married next year.

    How can I get nysc to post me to Ogunstate even tho it is my state of origin?
    Or a neighbouring state like Oyo or Lagos that i can still try to go and come back daily or every 2 days.
    Also, when will the next batch registration begin?

    1. Local Man

      There is no update on the next registration date for now. Be patient on my WhatsApp channel for timely information.
      About the posting to state of origin, I’ll advise you concentrate your effort on either Oyo or Lagos like you suggested. State of Origin is almost IMPOSSIBLE.

    I want to ask sir,
    I did my relocation to Ondo state and it worked but currently I’m not feeling fine due to typhoid, so I’m treating myself and I haven’t gone for my relocation documentation

    So I want to ask that if the 21dyas exceeds, can I still go do it later sir or I have to do it within the 21days sir?

    Pls I was posted to Ekiti, but I did relocation unfortunately on the last day of camp I find out it did not work, but yet my daddy said I should be coming home straight that he will call the person doing it, so I came back to Lagos without doing documentation in Ekiti. Now he is saying that if the person did not say anything that maybe I will go back to Ekiti for some month and come back to Lagos. My question now is, will I not have problem if I did not do my documentation this year? and I heard that our next clearance must be done btw 1st – 10th how true is it sir

    Good morning, sir 🥰 please I have a quick question 🙏
    I relocated while in camp and was issued a PPA letter on the last day, but I did not report to the place.
    I am now trying to do out-of-camp relocation.
    Please, do I need to report to the PPA or should I just wait for the out-camp relocation to be approved?

    1. Local Man

      You’ll be marked absent if you miss the monthly clearance. There won’t be any clearance for you if you’re not working at your PPA. I believe that answers your question.

    Hello Local Man,

    I am from batch B2 and I’ve resumed at my PPA already in Anambra but just did my Relocation to Ogun. A friend told me I’d still need to do flag-off but I can’t see anything related to that on my dashboard and I’ve been able to print my Relocation letter.

    Is flag-off for every Corp member that did outcamp relocation?

    Hello! Local man
    Good evening

    Pls how much is the medical fitness certificate and direct posting (Lagos precisely)?
    Based on the Addendum…who’ll be the one to sign it for me?
    As a direct entry student from Polytechnic to University who is about going for service with this batch C should I also go with the original and photocopy of my National Diploma Result?
