5 Nigerian celebrities in their NYSC kits

The NYSC, a mandatory one-year national service for graduates of tertiary institutions, was established through Decree 24 on May 22, 1973.

This decree aimed to foster unity and common ties among Nigerian youths and contribute to the country's rebuilding and reconciliation after the Nigerian Civil War.

The programme consisted of university graduates who were called up for one year of community service.

In this article, Pulse takes a look at some Nigerian celebrities who went through the exciting and patriotic process.
