Nigerian students
schooling at the University of Arkansas held an event to re-enact the NYSC
experience so that their host community and other foreign students could
experience what it’s like.
The Nigerian students
went the whole nine yards as they made NYSC uniforms for themselves and for
their hosts. They even re-enacted the NYSC camp drills, mammy market, NYSC
Passing Out Parade, presentation of NYSC discharge certificate, and other
aspects of NYSC.
In photos and videos
shared online, Nigerians and foreigners can be seen wearing their NYSC crested
vest and their khaki trousers as they carried out the exercises corps member
