6 things you can’t go a month without during NYSC

If you’re a prospective corps member, there are a couple things you simply can’t go a month without in your one year of service to the nation.

See them below:

1. The NYSC anthem

As long as you are an active corps member, you must acknowledge the NYSC anthem, especially at the NYSC campgrounds and at meetings such as CDS, etc. Learn the NYSC anthem here.

2. Monthly clearance

The National Youth Service Corps clearance should be taken seriously by all youth corps members. It is very important because it registers you as an NYSC youth corps member in the local government you were posted. Failure to complete the clearance may lead to your subsequent monthly allowance being held back.

3.Attending CDS

This is also an important programme of the NYSC which means Community Development Service. Through CDS activities, corps members contribute positively to the development of their host communities throughout the period of their national service. You should be part of it, too.

4.Wearing the NYSC kit

Corps members are supposed to wear their NYSC uniforms on the days of their CDS, or when going for official outings which concerns the scheme. You can’t escape this.

5.Monthly allowance

Your first allowance will be N19,800 which will be given to you at the NYSC camp, alongside a bicycle allowance to take you safely to your PPA. Subsequent monthly allowances will be paid to your account until you complete your youth service.
