About NYSC
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a program established by the Nigerian government in 1973 to promote national unity and foster youth development.
It mandates Nigerian graduates under 30 to undergo a one-year service, which includes an orientation course, primary assignment, and community development service.
Participants, known as corps members, are deployed across the country to work in various sectors, including education, health, and public service.
The scheme aims to enhance cultural integration, skill acquisition, and national service among young Nigerians. Over the years, NYSC has played a significant role in nation-building and bridging regional divides.
Impact in society
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is believed to have played a crucial role in shaping Nigerian society by promoting national unity, fostering cultural exchange, and reducing ethnic divisions through the deployment of graduates to different states while also enhancing their professional and entrepreneurial skills, making them more employable and self-reliant in the labor market.
Additionally, the program contributes to community development by engaging corps members in projects such as building schools, organizing health campaigns, and supporting education, thereby improving the standard of living in local communities.
Tinubu's govt begins overhaul of NYSC scheme
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government has set up a committee to overhaul the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The committee is to carry out major changes and make NYSC stronger, and more useful to national growth. As reported by The Punch, this is a result of the rising concerns about the safety of corps members, poor facilities, and the relevance of the NYYSC in today’s social and economic realities.
The Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, said the committee will also work on how to make the scheme better suited to the needs of Nigerian youths.
