President Tinubu rejected a N942bn budget for Nigeria's population census, proposing instead to use NYSC members to conduct the exercise at lower costs.

This plan could see corps members gaining skills in data collection, serving nationwide, and earning extra allowances, while saving government funds.

Though challenges like logistics or safety may arise, the move highlights trust in NYSC's role in national development.

Corps members are advised to stay informed through official channels for updates

A FUTA 500L student’s decision to ride Okada to pay his school fees went viral after a photo of him with his school ID card surfaced online, sparking admiration for his resilience.

As the story spread, Nigerians rallied to support him, covering his fees and more—a testament to the power of community, much like the unity NYSC corps members experience during CDS projects.

For youth corpers, this highlights key NYSC values: adaptability in tough situations, humility in taking on honest work, and leveraging social media for positive change. It’s a reminder that challenges during service year—or final school days—can be overcome with focus and collective support.

Just as the student’s hustle inspired help, corps members can drive impact through their projects, support peers, and embrace hustles that align with their goals.

Ultimately, the story urges corpers to stay resilient, seek help when needed, and trust that their efforts, no matter how small, can inspire meaningful change.

This article highlights the top 10 worst NYSC camps in Nigeria for 2025, including locations like Oyo State's Eleyele Camp (terrible food and electricity issues) and Adamawa State's Jama Camp (no running water).

It also showcases the top 5 best camps, with Ogun State's Sagamu Camp topping the list due to its brand new facilities, working sockets, clean hostels, and ATM access.

Corps members are advised to maintain a positive mindset, pack essentials like snacks and torchlights, and remember that NYSC camp life is temporary—9 weeks that can become great stories later.

NYSC doesn't pay double allowance or a 13th month salary as some people think.

What you actually get at the end of service in 2025 are one-time payments like transport fare (about ₦15,000), exit gratuity (around ₦50,000), and washing/pressing fare for your closing toga.

These bonuses sometimes get confused with double pay, but they're not extra monthly stipends. Once your service ends, your monthly ₦36,900 stops, and the bonuses usually arrive within 1-2 months after your closing parade.

It's best to save your stipend wisely and check with your PPA employer if they offer additional support after NYSC.
