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.
