NYSC means for National Youth Service Corps. This is a scheme by the Federal Government of Nigeria that was set up in 1973. This is a compulsory scheme that every young graduate of a Nigerian university or Polytechnic must attend. It has been so since 1973. Members of the scheme are addressed as Prospective Corp Members when they are yet to go for camp and are referred to as Corpers or “Agunbaniro” in the Yoruba language.

It was created on the 22nd day of May in 1973 and it was created in order to foster unity and common ties among the Nigerian populace. It was established after the civil war that lasted between 1967 to 1970 for the rebuilding project of the nation.

NYSC is operated through the deployment of graduates or corps members to other states different from their state of origin or regional origin in the country. This is to promote the mixing of ethnic tribes with each other and also unity among the ethnic groups.

The NYSC scheme also has a pledge which they expect all youth Corpers to receive at campgrounds. The pledge is on the NYSC official website on the Internet. There, you can read the full pledge and the conditions attached to it. All Corp Members are expected to sign the pledge at the camp. A failure to sign the NYSC pledge will mean the Corper will be sent away from the camp. The Corper will only be allowed back in the next batch and that is when she/he is ready to sign the pledge.
