Yes
Yes you can. Apply for correction of name on NYSC dashboard. It’ll write ‘Application is being reviewed’ after it’s sent successfully. However, it takes time before correction is been effected. But if you want faster reply and correction, Kindly text them on messenger with this username ‘National Youth Service Corps- NYSC. Once you lay your complaints, they’ll ask for your details and it’ll be treated very fast. Within few minutes, go back to your NYSC dashboard and check. The correction will be effected. I had same issue and this was how I resolved mine. Thought to share tho. Cause I know how disturbing this can be.
