FULL STANZA OF THE NYSC ANTHEM

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a one-year mandatory program which all Nigerian graduates below the age of 30 must partake in. The program was established in 1973 with the major aim of fostering national unity, encouraging the spirit of self-reliance and promoting the development of the country.

As an integral part of the program, the NYSC has an official anthem which serves as a rallying call for corps members to serve their country with dedication and selflessness.

The anthem was composed into music by Revd Dr. Oluwole Adetiran in 1984, is a stirring tribute to the ideals of the NYSC and a reminder to corps members of their duty to help build a better Nigeria.

The NYSC anthem has three stanza. Most corp members only knows the first stanza.

Here is the NYSC anthem in full:

Youths obey the clarion call
Let us lift our nation high
Under the sun or in the rain
With dedication and selflessness
Nigeria is ours, Nigeria we serve.

Members, take the great salute
Put the Nation first in all
With service and humility
NYSC for the noble youths
Make Nigeria a great nation.

Far and near we come to serve
And to build our fatherland
With oneness and loyalty
NYSC for unity
Hail Nigeria, our great nation.
