What is the meaning of NYSC?
NYSC is accompanied by training and volunteer service. It is expected of all youth who are still within the age requirement to embark on this training immediately after they have successfully reached the end of their academic year.
This program is only limited to graduates of universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and military schools.
The National Youth Service Corporation was inaugurated by General Yakubu Gowon in 1973. The aim behind this is to promote peace, unity, and cohesion within and across different tribes. It also aimed at building the spirit of perseverance and adaptation in the graduates as they began to explore life.
NYSC camp training and orientation also give youth a token of military training to defend and provide protection in real situations, as the condition may be.
