You need to be equipped with the knowledge needed so that you will be able to make ends meet after your service.

During my NYSC days, I didn’t compete within the labyrinth of the ever-extensive labour market.

Do you know why?

I studied a professional course while I was serving.

Immediately after I received my NYSC certificate, I resumed work the next week.
