Hello House!

So I graduated in 2019, and since then I've been working as a Google publisher. I'm thinking of registering for NYSC this November batch but I've some pressing questions.

As a Google Publisher, I write and publish contents daily. This is not something I can do with my phone as it's pretty much complex. I tried employing someone few months ago, but the drive the person had was below my expectations, same with the results. So I've been wondering, can I go to NYSC camp with a laptop? I can't afford to stop working for three weeks.

Secondly, is it possible to abandon my service halfway? I don't see the possibility of completing it as my papers are being processed for living in overseas. At the most, six months time I wouldn't be in Nigeria.

Thirdly, I graduated with a first class degree. Though I don't think I'm going to continue in that academic route (I intend doing an MFA in creative writing) instead of what I studied (Linguistics), is the NYSC certificate important to me?

I don't see myself studying in Nigeria. Still, I don't know what the future holds.

If you're in my shoes what'd you do?

Thanks!

Just get an exemption from NYSC and skip service. Except your papers are ready or almost ready and you have been vaccinated i will advise you not to put a timeline on your departure yet especially if it's the US you are planning to travel to. Good luck.

How old are you??
You can determine to co.e back for nysc after your PG,
But you won't get an exemption certificate if you graduated before 30.
Talking about the future, remember what happens to many politicians that skipped NYSC.

Also laptops are not allowed in the camp at all.. but there are ways to skip camp if you can bribe right.
