National Youth Service Corps

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a Nigerian program established in 1973 to promote national unity and development. It requires graduates of universities and polytechnics to serve in different regions of the country for one year after completing their studies. During this period, corps members engage in community development projects, teach in schools, and participate in various social initiatives. The NYSC aims to foster integration among Nigeria's diverse ethnic groups, encourage patriotism, and help young Nigerians gain practical experience while contributing to societal progress.
