About this episode
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), introduced in 1973 to foster unity after the civil war, was once a symbol of national integration and service.
Today, with debates surrounding its effectiveness, some Nigerians are calling for its extension to two years to revive its original purpose.
This episode of Nigeria Daily explores whether a longer NYSC can rebuild national unity or if the scheme has simply run its course.
