My NYSC Story
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Service to one's country is mandatory. Most of the people I have encountered usually say, "NYSC has lost its value" or "NYSC is not what it used to be years ago." Honestly, I do not share the same ideology. If something is no longer shining, why don't you create a spark?
This is my story.
On 14th August 2023, I saw my call-up letter posting me to Adamawa State. I was super excited because I believed this was a stepping stone to greatness.
I embarked on my journey to the North, which lasted about 36 hours from Rivers State. Eventually, I arrived at Damare, Girei L G A, Adamawa State.
As I settled in, I spoke to myself: "To the best of my ability, I will participate in every camp activity."
I was determined to make the most of the opportunity before me.
Looking back, I wanted my NYSC journey to be more than just another compulsory national assignment. I wanted it to be a year that would leave lasting memories and, hopefully, a lasting impact. That was the mindset with which my service year began.

If your mutual posts something that is against your wish, as a sensible person what are you supposed to do?🤔
1. Insult your mutual
2. Skip the post
3. Argue with your mutual constructively
Chapter 10: Giving Back
In July 2024, I visited three schools and organized a seminar for SS3 students titled "Life After Secondary School." The seminar focused on preparing them mentally for life after secondary school by giving them an insight into what to expect as they moved on to the next phase of their lives.
Around the same period, Dr. David Agabi was reposted from our Local Government Area to Itu, and Mrs. Blessing Ubi became our new Local Government Inspector (LGI). We were all tearful because we had grown to love Dr. Agabi and appreciated his leadership during our time under his supervision.

Chapter 11: The End of the Journey
As my passing-out date drew closer, I had to write my report on the progress and outcome of my proposed CDS project. After completing the report, I submitted it to the State Coordinator through the Local Government Inspector.
Those who read my report and saw what I had achieved began congratulating me for accomplishing such a feat, as no one in 2023 Batch B had embarked on a project.
Word eventually reached me that I should remain patient because, after the State Coordinator reviewed my report, I would likely be considered for the Governor's Award in recognition of my achievements.
Unfortunately, the then State Coordinator, Mr. Okon Christopher, was kidnapped alongside his driver. There was no news of his safe return. As a result, I missed out on the Governor's Award.
Despite that disappointment, I consider it a privilege to have met remarkable people throughout my service year. Although I may not have mentioned everyone in this story, I was blessed to cross paths with many great individuals who contributed, in one way or another, to making my NYSC journey memorable.
On 25 July 2024, I successfully completed my service year.
Looking back, my NYSC journey remains one of the most memorable chapters of my life. From the orientation camp in Adamawa State to my primary place of assignment in Akwa Ibom State, every stage of the journey taught me valuable lessons and presented opportunities for growth.
I served as the Head Corper of my school, became the Corps Members' Liaison Officer (CLO) for my Local Government Area, successfully executed my personal CDS project, and had the privilege of meeting remarkable people who influenced my journey in different ways.
NYSC gave me experiences that went beyond the mandatory one-year national service. It became a journey of leadership, service, resilience, friendship, and personal growth.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
My name is Minadiki, Oputamuno.
