Forget the unpleasant stories some people tell about the Nigerian Youth Service Corps (NYSC), it’s an awesome scheme that allows you to experience people, places and processes. There’s really so much to learn and love about the scheme. Care to know? See…
- The people
It’s no joke that a lot of people found their soul mates through this programme, and countless youths have made lifelong friendships through NYSC.
- Freedom and adventure
Youth service can really be fun. A lot of times, you have the opportunity and freedom to try new things, as well as explore new communities within and outside your place of primary assignment (PPA).

- Culture and tradition
Many youths do not travel out of their states of origin or residence, so the Youth Service provides the perfect opportunity for young graduates in Nigeria to move to a new city or state. This way, they get to learn about the culture and tradition of people in other parts of the country.
- Job opportunities
During the Youth Service programme, some graduates are fortunate to work in organizations that retain them after the one-year programme. Apart from that, there could be several openings in the community or state where they served.
- The memories
You’ve got to admit, you’ll never have similar memories like the ones created during your service year. There are so many fond memories that would remain golden in your thoughts for years and decades – the Man O’ War exercises; the morning drills at the camp; singing the NYSC anthem; proudly putting on the NYSC kit among many others. Also, you can’t but love the remarks made by passers-by as they watch you stride along in your Jungle boots.
