Have You Ever Been Denied A Job Because You Didn't Do Your NYSC? by lovediehatelive(m): 3:56pm On Jul 11, 2023
So a friend of mine is in his finals and said he won't go for NYSC.

While discussing with a group of pals, one adviced him to go for NYSC because they'll request for the certificate when you apply for a job.

He told him about a course mate during his time who was turned down for a private job just because he didn't go for NYSC.

I use to think that only government Jobs require NYSC as a criteria for getting hired.

What's your experience, have you ever been turned down for a job because you didn't have NYSC certificate?

Some jobs even request your original certs which you don’t get until you have completed your NYSC or present an exemption letter to your school.

It's best you do your NYSC to avoid stories that touch. If you graduated above 30+ years of age, try and get the exemption certificate from NYSC.

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

If we Nigerians don't like each other and we begin to segregate between NYSC attendees and none NYSC, I don't see why this country won't divide into two.


I wanted to let it slide that is one of those things when job hunting, but I just have to let the cat out of the bag, because I don't want to start thinking about it as today is sons birthday, I need to free my mind.

By the laws establishing the NYSC it is illegal for any organization to employ an individual with a graduate degree without an NYSC discharge/exemption certificate. If you graduate at an age less than 30 you better save yourself a whole lot of trouble by going to serve. Remember what happened to Kemi the ex-finance minister?

Nope, can't relate. I served as soon as I was done with school. But getting good jobs have not been easy. Low paying and scam jobs everywhere.

Because of my experience at job hunting, I made a resolution to only advertise genuine jobs with employers' direct emails on my group page https:///184037139835240/
Re: Have You Ever Been Denied A Job Because You Didn't Do Your NYSC? by mayim(m): 12:37pm On Jul 12, 2023
it's better to do with to be on the safe side. but i have someone, a young chap who refused to do it. He is into tech and was already working for tech companies in Nigeria and abroad even while in his final year. he felt nysc was a waste of his time and he was right afterall. he is based abroad now and doing super good for himself. So in conclusion, if you hope to get the regular jobs in the nigerian job market, you should do it.

Why won't u do NYSC? not even a discharge or exemption certificate?
Re: Have You Ever Been Denied A Job Because You Didn't Do Your NYSC? by ShenTeh(m): 12:39pm On Jul 12, 2023
No, even if any employer in Nigeria is bold enough to employ you, that employer runs the risk of prosecution by the government.

But again, Nigeria is a country where patriotism and law are often on holiday.
