The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was created after the Nigerian Civil War on the 22nd of May 1973 to promote national unity and promote better relationships among Nigerian youths from different tribes and religions. It is usually done after graduating from a tertiary institution. It is a compulsory program that must be done before you get a corporate or governmental job. In most cases, corps members are transferred to other states in Nigeria to serve the country for a year. In the new state, corps members are given a Place of Primary Assignment ( PPA ) which could be ministries, schools, organisations, and so on.
