An inspiring tune, “National Youth Service Corps Anthem,” is the finest way to describe the song that serves as the official anthem of the programme. Singing the NYSC song is a great way to boost Corps members’ spirits by constantly reminding them of their patriotic obligations. To their dismay, many would-be Corps Members need to be made aware of the words to the NYSC anthem or how to pronounce them.
This is why we have written the anthem; it will serve as a rallying cry for all participants in the plan. There are three stanzas to this anthem. Corps members and applicants should try memorising lines from the first three stanzas of “The NYSC Anthem.”
The NYSC Anthem
Stanza One
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.
Stanza Two
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.
Stanza Three
Far and near we come to serve
And to build our fatherland
With oneness and loyalty
NYSC for unity
Hail Nigeria, our great nation.
