How to Write Letter to NYSC State Coordinator
If you are thinking of relocating from your NYSC state of deployment to another state of your choice, you can follow the below procedure to write a NYSC Relocation Letter easily.
Steps on How to Write a Relocation Letter to NYSC State Coordinator
First of all, you need to write down your NYSC orientation camp name, state, and date at the top right corner of the foolscap paper.
Then give a double line spacing and start writing at the left corner of the foolscap by writing down the director general’s (DG) details in Abuja, followed by writing the state coordinators (SC) information just below the director general’s.
You can then give one-line spacing and write “Dear Sir” or “Sir” at the left corner below the director general’s and state coordinator’s details.
Now you can give another double line spacing and start from the middle of the two corners of the foolscap sheet by providing the heading of the reasons why you are writing. For example, if you are applying for relocation, you can use the below headings in the middle of the two (2) corners of the foolscap sheet by writing:
Application for relocation
Then start your letter by writing ”I” and providing your full names as they are in your NYSC details. Provide your “NYSC state code” and “NYSC’s call-up letter numbers.” Then provide the information of the state you want to relocate from and the state you wish to relocate to.
Then provide the reasons why you wish to relocate, either on “health grounds,” “marital grounds,” or “security reasons.”
And write, “In view of the above reasons, I hope my request will be given adequate consideration.”
Now give a space and go down to the bottom right of the space and write your name, signature, state code, and phone number (if necessary).

Dear Sir/Ma,
APPLICATION FOR RELOCATION
I, Haruna Hamisu Danbaba, with state code KN/24B/1234 and call-up number NYSC/JOS/2024/123456, wish to apply for relocation from Kano State to Lagos State on health grounds as a result of chronic asthma, for which I am receiving treatment at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
In view of the above, I hope my request will be given adequate consideration.
Thank You!
Yours Faithful
Haruna Hamisu Danbaba
Signature
KN/24B/1234

After writing every detail concerning your health grounds or marital grounds, you need to attach the hospital’s state of health grounds letter to the hospital you are receiving treatment from.
On the other hand, if you are applying based on marital grounds, you will need to attach your wedding certificates from a recognized marriage registry.
Then you can go ahead and submit it to your NYSC Camp relocation department. Wait until you are called upon to defend your health situation or marital status.
If your request is approved, you will be posted to your desired state of relocation or posted to a state close to the state you wish to relocate to.
