Corps Medical Personnel to Serve Exclusively in Government Facilities – OSINUBI

Assistant Director, Deployment and Relocation Branch, NYSC Lagos State, and Head of Registration Committee at the ongoing 2023 batch “C” Stream II Orientation Course in the NYSC Lagos Orientation Camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Mr. Kayode Osinubi, has restated the resolve of the Committee to post corps members who are medical personnel to Public or government health facilities instead of privately owned ones.

He made this call while delivering the Deployment and Relocation lecture this morning to corps members undergoing orientation course at Iyana-Ipaja Camp.

Mr. Osinubi who re-echoed the age-long policy of the NYSC said the idea of the policy is to ensure people at the grassroots, and people who cannot pay they hefty payments that come with seeking medical care at private facilities are well attended to at public facilities at low or no costs, which allow government to provide Healthcare services to those it wants to practically reach.

The Assistant Director also stated that the first port of call of the corps members whether they are accepted by their employers or rejected after posting is their Local Government Inspectors. He said if a corps member is rejected, such can easily apply for reposting their their Local Government Inspector.

While speaking on relocation processes, he said corps members who didn’t want to continue serving in a specific State can relocate on either marital or health grounds. On certification, Mr. Osinubi admonished the corps members to ensure their names are correctly documented in the Certificate Format, adding that alteration after issuance is impossible under the policy of the scheme.
