How to cancel NYSC relocation
Below is best guide to cancel your relocation;
Within Camp
If you are still in NYSC Orientation camp at the time you want to cancel your relocation, meet your platoon officer, he will guide you on what to do. Or write a latter of request and submit to the NYSC relocation officer.
Outside NYSC camp
If you are no longer in the NYSC Orientation, follow the guide below to cancel your relocation;
- Think very well if you are sure to cancel your relocation.
-
Write a latter of request, address it to NYSC State Coordinator in your present state of service.
-
Submit the letter to your LGI, he will help you to submit at NYSC state secretariat, or go direct to the NYSC secretariat by yourself.
-
Continue your regular activities in your present state of service.
NOTE: Make sure that NYSC cancel the relocation because it may ruin your service year if you continue service without the cancellation. It is also possible to apply for relocation more than once.

Please have done my documentation after relocation back to Abuja and ppa is given to me already but I don’t know if I should go to the local govt first or take the ppa letter to the company I was posted to? Please am confused and clearance is this week

Take the letter to the company and collect clearance letter…If they refuse to give you clearance letter, don’t report to your LGI and explain things for him. He will allow you to take part in the clearance exercise.
