What is NYSC and how important is it for Nigerians? Short history
National Youth Service Corp, which was founded in 1973, was originally meant as a way for young people to develop the feeling of unity, dignity, and patriotism for their country. Years later, it is still helping Nigerian youths form a sense of unity and do important work for the sake of their country, while learning a lot of new useful information about Nigerian history and various cultures. To this day, NYSC is considered to be the official next step in most young people’s life and holds a significant place in the Nigerian culture.
After applying for NYSC, the young graduates have to spend three weeks at the “orientation camp”, which works like a military boot camp. During this time, they are separated from their family and friends and have to rely only on themselves. After the orientation period is completed, the youngsters are sent somewhere away from home to learn about various cultures along with serving the country and gaining some work experience. When the course is over, all the graduates must attend the “passing out ceremony”. At this event, all the NYSC corpers honorably receive their certificates and officially finish their program.
