There is a new development in National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) that has been applauded
by many intending Corps members. The good
news from the Director-General of the service
explained how it has been established for Corps
members to now serve abroad.
This started when the buzz of a Corps member
spotted in the United States with the NYSC khaki
was seen circulating the social media.
However, the DG has explained the reason for
the new development as to foster the economy
and maintain Corps members allowances due to
high influx of ghost corpers. He mentioned that
corpers will be allowed to do menial jobs like
washing plates in McDonald’s, janitor, or
babysitting to sustain themselves.
Eligibility:
– Only those posted to Ministry of Foreign
Affairs are eligible to serve in any country of
their choice except Ghana (of course we don’t
know why Ghana is excluded).
– Corper will have to pay a sum of one hundred
thousand, six hundred and fifty naira (N100,650)
in cash; the N650 being processing fees.
Limitations:
Any Corps member that decides to stay back in
the foreign country after the service year or
engage in any illegal Greencard application, they
will be penalized with a sum of $2,000 and
requested to send invite for 5.
