Can a Married Woman Go for Service?
NYSC is broad so that even foreign graduates can register and serve their country. Therefore, even married people can also go for service.
However, the need to specify your marital status during NYSC registration is to ensure that you get the standard treatment you deserve as well as other actions necessary to ensure you don’t lose your marriage because of service.
While that is possible, you must pay attention to the age limit for NYSC registration which bears no exemption. Before registering for NYSC, you must provide your birth certificate to be sure you did not pass the age limit. The age limit for NYSC is 30-33 years therefore, whether married or single, you must make sure to be within the age range to go for service.
