NYSC posting: what is the best state for participation in the program?
This year many students are graduating from their alma maters and taking the next step in the National Youth Service program to become a corper. However, it is not always easy to determine which state would be the most comfortable for serving. In general, most people don’t get a chance to choose where they will serve. But this does not stop them from trying. And that’s why they would like to know the safest places to go as corps members.
Out of all the cities available for NYSC course, Lagos and Abuja have been the most popular among graduates in the recent years. This obviously happened because most graduates dream of living and serving in the big cities since there are more opportunities. Nonetheless, the latest NYSC posting policy has decreased the chances of young people getting the chance to to serve in these cities.
The officials who introduced the policy said that placing NYSC members in big metropolises is killing the original spirit of this course, and it is much more useful for them to be posted to rural areas. Also, the new rules stated that the only categories of NYSC corpers that can request concessionary postings are women who are married, the members with certain health-related problems, and physically disabled corpers.
