Going for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program is a significant milestone for many Nigerian graduates, marking the transition from academic life to national service.
The journey begins with a three-week orientation camp, which is an important part of the NYSC experience. This camp is designed to introduce corps members to the life they will lead in the service year and to instill in them the discipline and patriotism necessary for their roles as future leaders.
When you receive your NYSC call-up letter, it’s a signal to start preparing for your three-week stay at the orientation camp. This period is not only about physical training but also about cultural integration, as it brings together Nigerian graduates from diverse ethnic and social backgrounds.
