Enjoyable service year
Shamsiyya Muhammad, an ex-corper, shared her personal experience about the scheme:
“I had the option of choosing where I wanted to serve in the NYSC but I decided I would go to wherever I am posted. When I was posted to Niger state, I was happy because I had always wanted to visit the state. I must say I enjoyed my service year in minna.”
