The director-general said the scheme would no longer entertain or grant such requests as the online registration platform introduced by it had been designed to address the problem.
“The scheme has for the past few weeks received various requests from MDAs of government, private institutions and individuals seeking concessional posting.
“They are just wasting their time; we are not going to do any concessional posting for anybody. This country belongs to everybody so corps members should be able to serve anywhere we deploy them.
“If we concede to this it will be killing the objective by which the scheme was established which is national integration,” he said.
Olawumi said that the scheme had in the past allowed concessional postings for prospective corps members who had medical problems, pregnant women and nursing mothers.
“All those who have these challenges what they need to do is in the process of doing the online registration they should upload necessary documents and information to the portal and it will automatically post them.
“These persons will automatically be posted to either the location where they are receiving treatment or where their parents reside. Pregnant and nursing mothers will be automatically posted to where their spouses reside,” he said.
