This is a corp member’s fears of life after NYSC. I am Gozie and I graduated from Geology department from one of our Federal Universities in Nigeria (name hidden for confidential reasons).
Well, I am currently serving in Akwa Ibom state and will pass out next year by April, but I have great fear bothering me sometimes, and that is LIFE AFTER NYSC.
I am an ardent visitor of Job and Vacancy section and I always read some threads created by Job seekers complaining of how Nigeria is devoid of employment and each time I see it, I feel disturbed.
REASONS WHY I AM AFRAID OF LIFE AFTER NYSC
1. My parents are both in the village and I don’t have any place to go to after service while waiting for employment because I wont like to stay in the village.
2. Though I graduated with Second Class Upper, I don’t have any single connection in the industry and I have been reading posts of how life without connection can be miserable for a job seeker.
3. The highest I can save from this NYSC scheme is 100k, which is not enough capital to venture into any reasonable thing in Nigeria.
Please I seriously need your advice on what to do in other to get a job immediately I finish service next year April because that is the only surest way to raise capital.
I plan to relocate to PH and rent house there while waiting for employment because PH is well industralized and there are lots of oil companies, construction companies and other companies related to my course located in PH.
