Congratulations on graduating from the higher institution if you are a fresh graduate. In this article, we will share the simple steps to help you check if your name is on the NYSC Senate list submitted by your alma mater.
The National Youth Service Corps is the body that supervises the mandatory one-year service of fresh Nigerian graduates. It was created on 22nd May 1973 by the then-military head of state Gen. Yakubu Gowon.
This period of national service (commonly called service year) allows these graduates to engage in community development projects and other activities that foster patriotism and togetherness in the nation.
Due to the mandatory nature of the NYSC scheme and its contribution towards nation-building, it is compulsory that all Nigerian graduates enroll in the scheme.
It is very difficult to find gainful employment without passing through this scheme.
