Graduates Reject NYSC Posting to Norths , Southeast, site growing insecurity.
2025-09-29 | Admin
After coming out of a civil war that threatened the country’s unity, the federal military government under General Yakubu Gowon established the NYSC. Graduates were deployed to regions different from where they studied or grew up, sending them to unfamiliar terrains to serve the country by providing temporary staffing for schools, hospitals, government offices, and supporting rural development until the end of their service year. The aim was to promote cross-cultural understanding and unity among the country’s over 200 ethnic groups. Over the years, graduates found ways to bypass the system by paying for deployment to their preferred states. They typically worked through middlemen who acted as go-betweens for NYSC officials and prospective corps members to influence postings, a practice known as direct posting. Corps members are not the only ones who fear for their lives; their parents share the same worries. Many have appealed to the Federal Government to stop posting us to high risk
