NYSC
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a scheme set up by the Nigerian government to involve Nigerian graduates in nation building and the development of the country. There's no military conscription in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of Universities and later polytechnics have been required to take part in the National Youth Service Corps programme for one year.
NYSC was created in 22 May 1973 as an avenue for the reconciliation, reconstruction, and rebuilding of the nation after thecivil war.
Corps members (participants in the National Youth Service Scheme) are posted to states other than their state of origin where they are expected to mix with people from different ethnic groups, social and family backgrounds, and learn the culture of the indigines in the location they are posted to.
To be eligible to participate in the compulsory one year service, a graduate must be below the age of 30 years when he/she graduated, or else he/she will be given a Certificate of Exemption, which is also equivalent to the NYSC Discharge Certificate.
