7 Things You Can Do During NYSC Service Year

Posted on September 12, 2025 By CampusTimesNG No Comments on 7 Things You Can Do During NYSC Service Year

In this article, we shall be talking about 7 things you can do during NYSC service Year. The NYSC Youth Service year is a period of selfless service to your Nation.

During this period, you get to acclimatize with other cultures, norms and values that are quite different from the ones you are familiar with.

This period as it may be quite boring, can also be a great opportunity for Corp Members to add value to themselves.

Here on this page are some interesting tips of things you can do during NYSC Service year.

1. Acquire some Skills:

The service year is a period where you can be a boss of your own and be self-employed. Gains skills like fashion designing, catering, cosmetology and much more depending on whatever you are interested in. Enroll for Skill Acquisition And Entrepreneurial Development (SAED) programs.

2. Get Professional Certification:

You don’t need to depend on your BSc or HND certificate only. The workplace is changing drastically. You need to give them what they want before you can get whatever you need. Get an affordable and accessible platform to enroll for professional Certification courses for NYSC Corps members, so you can be employable at the end of your service year.

3. Become a Whistle Blower:

As awkward as it may seem, a youth corps member could be a perfect whistleblower. If you notice any financial dealings at your PPA or anywhere around you, all you need do is to head over to the FMF-Whistleblowing online portal to submit your tip. A Whistleblower is entitled to anywhere between 2.5%-5.0% of the amount recovered. The best part is, every whistleblower is entitled to protection; no one will know you submitted the tip! That looks like a lucrative business isn’t it? You don’t even need a capital!

4. Start An Agricultural Business:

The Nigerian prospect for entrepreneurs venturing into Agriculture has shown beyond doubt that any entrepreneur who runs and grows a successful farm can generate high revenues from exports and local sales.

Nigeria is a country blessed with rich highly-demanded export valued products like Sesame seeds, Cassava, Snails, Poultry products, Fisheries, and a whole lot more.

By venturing into small scale agriculture, you can learn the rudiments of the business, make mistakes early on, and eventually reap the benefits the industry has to give for Agro-entrepreneurs who successful grow products that are market ready.

5. Start A Private Lessons/Tutorials:

With the advent of fast growing tutor platforms like Prep-class and the likes, a graduate can easily register on their platform and get assigned to parents and their children for a home tutoring service. They are then given a period during the week where they coach the child, and get paid directly by Prep-class.

You could either register on the Prep-Class platform to get assigned to coach a child, or you could start a home coaching service, where you could link up other corps members and teachers to various parents for a home tutoring service.

6. Prepare For Job Interview:

Most corps members have never stood in front of the interview personnel of any company, if you fall under this category, why not read books and articles on how to excel in an interview?

You can get a GMAT and start practicing job test questions in order to equip yourself.

7. Learn Habit Of Saving:

Your monthly allowance is definitely not sufficient to cater for your needs (communication, transportation, feeding, housing etc.) but you need to start cultivating a good saving habit.

A onetime corps member said he saved 25.5% of his allowance every month. You will definitely need money after your service year to invest in any resourceful idea and also for personal upkeep before you secure a job.

I’m sure you wouldn’t want to go back home asking dad and mum for money to make your hair, would you?
