In this article, I will provide a helpful guide on how to effectively write a letter requesting NYSC to post Corps members to your company. If you are a Corps member, I will explain the process of requesting NYSC to assign you to a particular organization.

Whether you are a prospective Corps member or an employer seeking to be posted to a specific Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) or requesting Corps members to be posted to your organization, this guide will give you the necessary knowledge to create a convincing letter that meets the requirements.

By following the guidelines in this article, you will be able to write a professional and persuasive NYSC letter of request.

This topic covers two main points:

1. Corps members asking NYSC to post or re-post them to a specific Place of Primary Assignment (PPA).
2. Employers or managers asking NYSC to post Corps members to their organization.

Request Letter for NYSC Posting

If you are a Corps member and want to serve in a specific company, you can write a letter requesting NYSC to assign you to that organization. However, please note that this approach does not guarantee success, as NYSC cannot guarantee that the organization has a need for your services.

To increase your chances, you should write the letter on behalf of the organization you desire to work for. It is also important to obtain the signature and stamp of the head of the organization (your prospective boss) on the letter. Once completed, anyone can submit the letter to the NYSC state coordinator’s office.

Note: NYSC may not post you to an organization that is not well-known or registered with the appropriate government agency. On the other hand, if you are an employer or have a business where you need Corps members to be posted, you can also write the letter.

Format for NYSC Request Letter

1. NYSC request letter format: If an organization in Nigeria wants to hire a Corps member, they must write an official letter to the NYSC management. This is the only way to employ Corps members in your workplace. The NYSC request letter should meet the following requirements:

• Use formal language.
• Have correct English grammar and spellings.
• Keep the body of the letter concise.
• Use a persuasive writing style.
• Be clear and to the point.
• Use A4 paper letter size.

If your letter meets the above requirements, you can expect a prompt response from NYSC.

Follow the guide below:

2. Opening paragraph: Introduce your company or organization in one sentence. Then use two more sentences to state your request for Corps member(s) that you need and explain why you are requesting Corps member(s).

3. Closing paragraph: Since you expect a response from NYSC, be polite in your call to action. Also, provide a date by which you expect to receive a reply.
