Members of the NYSC have always been regarded as an arm of the ‘paramilitary’ so it comes as no surprise that they undergo some near-military fitness training.
In the video, the group of corps members clad in their NYSC attire could be seen practicing their moves aggressively while on camp.
The video has stirred hilarious reactions from netizens;

In 2021, Taraba state Governor, Darius Ishaku, opined that as part of the country’s efforts to combat insecurity, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) should be extended to two years, and members be allowed to undergo military.
In his words;
“The NYSC I will say should be two years. One year for compulsory military training and the other year for the social works that they are doing now so that anybody who graduates as an NYSC person can know how to handle the gun and defend himself,” he said.
