Abstract
The Community Development Service (CDS) of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is one of
the four cardinal points of the scheme. Through the CDS, members of the Service Corps (i.e. youth corps
members) work with the local communities to promote self-reliance by systematically prospecting and
executing development projects and programmes which impact positively on the socio-economic
development of the host communities. This paper analyses the implementation of CDS projects and
eventually discusses the hindrances of the implementation of CDS as well as the possibilities of success in
the implementation. The study adopted documentary analyses to arrive at conclusion that the scheme is
indeed very well-articulated and structured. However, implementing CDS project is hindered by
several factors including but not limited to inadequate encouragement and motivation of Corps
Members, forceful posting of Corps Members to CDS group and loss of spirit among Corps
Members. The study therefore recommends that Nigerian government should retain the scheme
while NYSC management should make the choice of CDS groups to be based on interest;
governmental and community policies and actions should be favourable; CSOs, NGOs, community
members, philanthropists and politicians should be cooperative.

Introduction
Efforts to foster community development have been an issue of interest by various actors and
stakeholders. Governments at all levels in Nigeria have their specific and perhaps unique policy
or convention of promoting community development activities. To some extent, beneficiary-
communities on the other hand have also been contributing significantly in the initiation, execution
and management of community development projects/programmes.
After Nigeria’s Civil War in 1973, Nigerian government under the then Yakubu Gowon
administration was forced to rethink because of the devastating effects of the war which left the
country in disunity, intolerance, poverty, mass illiteracy, etc. As such the government introduced
the National Youth Service Scheme to reconstruct, revitalise and rebuild the economy.
The NYSC scheme was established on 22nd
May, 1973, by Decree 24 of 1973, later amended by
Decree No. 21 of 1985 which was also later replaced by Decree No. 51 of 16th
June, 1993 with the
objective of inculcating discipline in Nigerian youth by instilling in them a tradition of industry at
work and of patriotism and loyal service to the nation; develop common ties among them and
promote National Unity and to enable youths acquire the spirit of self-reliance among other noble
objectives (NYSC, 2016).
The scheme is a one-year compulsory activity for all Nigerian graduates that are not more than
thirty (30) years of age. In this activity, Corps Members (CMs) are posted across the 36 states and
Federal Capital Territory randomly. The scheme has four cardinal points viz; Orientation Course,
Primary Assignment, Community Development Service (CDS) and Passing-Out-Parade (POP).
Members of the service Corps are officially called “Corps Members” but the name “Corpers” is informally
used on a general note.
Community Development
According to United Nations, Community Development is the process by which the efforts of the
people themselves are united with those of governmental authorities to improve the economic,
social and cultural condition of the communities, to integrate those communities into the life of
the nation and enable them to contribute fully to national progress (NYSC, 2015).

3
Community Development is a process where community members come together to take collective
actions and generate solutions to common problems. Community wellbeing often evolves from
this type of collective action being taken at a grassroots level. Community development ranges
from small initiatives within a small group to large initiatives that involve the broader community
(Frank and Smith, 2017). Effective community development therefore seeks to improve quality of
life, mutual benefit among community members, shared responsibility, amongst others. It is a long
term endeavour, well planned, inclusive and equitable; and it is about community building.
Community Development Service of NYSC
The NYSC - CDS like the other components of the scheme is also a year-round affair. Through
the CDS, members of the Service Corps work with the local communities to promote self-reliance
by systematically prospecting and executing development projects and programme which impact
positively on the socio-economic development of the host communities (NYSC, 2014). Each
Corps Member is compulsorily assigned to a particular CDS group as his/her Group CDS, while
Personal CDS project/programme is optional for interested Corps Members. Group CDS is to be
attended once in a week and the remaining four (4) days for Place of Primary Assignment. Place
of Primary Assignment is the institutional attachment of Corps Members where they are expected
to work as staff.
Objectives of NYSC-CDS
The objectives of NYSC-CDS as spelled out in the Corps Members CDS handbook titled “ABC
of Community Development Service” are as follows:
i. Impacting positively on the improvement of rural community life.
ii. Developing the spirit of entrepreneurship in the Corps Members.
iii. To utilize the challenges which rural development poses and inculcate in the Nigerian
Youth the ideals and capacities for leadership, endurance, selflessness, community service,
national service, patriotism and creativity.
iv. Exposing Corps Members to diverse traditions and customs of the host communities.
v. Providing the forum for Corps Members to experiment with ideas and translate them into
concrete achievements thereby relying less on foreign technology and encouraging the use
of local raw materials in the execution of projects.

4
vi. Harnessing the enormous talents and skills of Corps Members into an effective machinery
of change in our rural communities.
vii. Providing on-the-job training and experience for Corps Members.
viii. Providing complementary service in our National development activities, by ensuring that
our under-privileged population learns basic techniques for self-help through the
appropriate technology concept being promoted by NYSC.
ix. To instill in Corps Members the tradition of dignity of labour and productivity.
x. To complement the activities of government at all levels in the stride towards national
development.
Classification of NYSC-CDS
The CDS component of NYSC is classified into various categories as discussed below (NYSC,
2015):
i. Group CDS: This is the type of CDS activity whereby Corps Members are formed into
various groups for various purposes and aims. Corps Members are expected to use one
day in a week for this category of CDS and are not expected to attend duties in their Places
of Primary Assignment on such days. Such days are dedicated to the execution of projects
and programmes that will improve the living conditions of their host communities.
ii. Personal CDS: This is the type of CDS activity where individual Corps Members can
execute project/programme in their host communities based on community’s felt needs.
Corps Members are encouraged in addition to the group CDS to look out for areas where
they could make individual impact in the community. It could be construction projects like
building of toilets, bridges, classrooms, etc. or social/educational projects/programmes
such as establishment of libraries, extramural classes, charity work, vocational training for
empowerment of unemployed youths, etc. Where a project/programme requires financial
support, Corps Members are encouraged to source fund from other organisations after
getting approval from the management of NYSC.
iii. Collaborative CDS: The scheme partners with National and Non-Governmental
organizations and other establishments to implement development programmes. The
Scheme signs MOU with the partners, clearly stating each partner’s roles/responsibilities.
Corps Members are usually involved as Volunteers on this programme. Collaborators in
this type of CDS include Road Safety Group (Federal Road Safety Corps), Reproductive

Needs Assessment of NYSC CDS Project
NYSC Corps Members who wishes to embark on projects are expected to observe the challenges
faced by the benefiting community before engaging in that. Such challenges may include
inadequate medical facilities, good water, educational institutions and many other social amenities
or the need to educate the community on a particular menace, activity or issue. Other reasons may
include the prevalence of non-skilled or unemployed youths, high rate of illiteracy or drug abuse,
among others. Apart from observation, other ways of identifying these include discussions with
the community members ranging from community leaders, youths, traders, community
associations, etc. Such projects should therefore be expected to improve the socio-economic
development of the benefiting community.
Steps for the Execution of NYSC-CDS Projects
The scheme has provided for the steps to be followed in the execution of NYSC-CDS Projects,
viz:
i. Interaction between CMs and community stakeholders to identify their felt needs
ii. Identification of sources of funds and relevant linkages for the project

8
iii. Preparation of viable proposal with the guidance of Local Government and Zonal Inspectors
iv. Approval of the project by the NYSC secretariat after consultation with the Local and Zonal
Inspectors
v. Mobilizing resources in consultation with community members from the community, Local
Government Council, Government and NGOs, as well as public spirited philanthropists.
vi. Ensuring contact with linkages relevant to the execution of the project jointly carried out by
CMs and the community
vii. Execution of the project
viii. Submission of bimonthly progress report with documentary/pictorial evidences
ix. Submission of completion report to the NYSC state secretariat
x. Commissioning and handing over to the community
xi. Giving of feedback to person that donated towards the execution of the project
Hindrances of NYSC-CDS Project Implementation
Various factors hinder the successful implementation of NYSC-CDS projects in different
communities. Some of these factors include:
i) Improper or inadequate Encouragement: This is a very serious issue that communities are
taking lightly. When CMs come in fresh, instead of being encouraged to embark on CDS
projects, communities remain silent despite having the knowledge of the benefits of CDS
projects. More so, even when projects are of interest to CMs, only NYSC officials encourages
it, while the relevant governments are usually mute about it. CMs are humans that need to be
motivated to continue the good work especially now that the spirit is at lower ebb.
Administrative reports of NYSC/RSC, NYSC/SERVICOM and other CDS groups and
associations reveal that state governments hardly appreciate the efforts of CDS groups
(NYSC/RSC, 2015; NYSC/ICPC, 2016).
ii) Bureaucratic Procedure: The thorough bureaucratic procedure involved in drafting a
proposal, determining community’s need, seeking for sponsorship, getting approvals,
managing resources, etc. is considered highly bored by CMs. It consumes a lot of time, energy
and monetary resources before accomplishment. As such, many CMs are highly discouraged
about it especially in the cases of Personal CDS projects. The eleven different steps for the
execution of CDS projects usually consumes a lot of time, coupled with lots of challenges that
very few can endure.
iii) Improper or Inadequate Reward: Although, some CDS projects are never forgotten by
many communities, CMs witness less appreciation in some cases. Since CMs have served and

9
offered to communities through Group and Collaborative projects with FRSC, NAFDAC,
NDLEA, NEMA, etc., some extraordinary ones are supposed to be rewarded with
recommendation letters or employment by the agency concerned, and that will save the
agency’s training cost. But because of high level of corruption in the country, merit is seldom
appreciated, which is why even a recommendation letter isn’t usually given.
iv) Forceful/Wrong posting to CDS Groups: Although there have been agitations on the need
for change of policy, CMs are being posted to CDS groups randomly, not based on choice or
area of specialization except for few groups like Medical and Legal Aid. Other CDS groups
like Road Safety, Red Cross Society, Sports, etc. also need to be based on interest if efficiency
and effectiveness needs to be attained. In Kwara State for example, NYSC/RSC CDS group
(Batch A 2015) were reported to have complained to NYSC about posting handicapped and
pregnant women to the CDS group because they are irrelevant in working with corps, as it
involves serious physical and field work like parade, traffic control, rallies, etc. (NYSC/RSC,
2016)
v) Discouragements and Inadequate Cooperation by Communities: Many CMs were
observed to have changed their minds about CDS projects especially the personal one and
especially if the projects are bigger in nature like building of school or library. In 2012, CM
Oyediran Igbosanmi Israel in an interview was reported to have suffered negative statements
by people when he took up interest in building Primary Healthcare Centre at Nongov
community, Buruku LGA of Benue state. Although he later succeeded, he suffered setbacks
from people with comments like “such projects are for government”, “you are wasting your
time”, “who will give you such amount”, etc. (Igbosanmi, 2012).
vi) Loss of Spirit: Generally, there has been general loss of spirit about the National Service.
Youths no longer serve with spirit rather to be certified only. This is why the level of
absenteeism is always on the rise.
Prospects of the Implementation of NYSC - CDS Projects
Implementation of NYSC-CDS projects is determined by variety of factors viz;

10
i) Interest: In a situation where CMs have interest in a particular CDS project/programme, they
will devote their time and put in their best to accomplish it. For instance, there is no doubt that
a graduate of medical college will be interested in serving with clinic or hospital, graduates of
Law to Legal Aid Group, social and management science graduates to EFCC, ICPC,
SERVICOM, etc. This shows a direct relationship and thus, service is expected. Furthermore,
individual CDS projects may also be triggered by the need to win a local or national award.
In such instances, CMs does their best to ensure the accomplishment of such projects before
the termination of their service year so it can be qualified for award. Instances like
sensitizations campaigns and free testing by Medical Groups in various communities are
examples. E.g. Medical CDS group (Batch A 2015) at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital.
Francis Okoye who served with Millennium Development Group, Offa, Kwara State
distributed 100 pieces of treated mosquito nets in line with MDGs Goal 6 (Combat HIV/AIDS,
Malaria and other diseases), 400 learning materials to selected schools in line with MDG’s
Goal 2 (Achieving Universal Basic Education) and trained less privilege mothers on skills
acquisition like baking in line with MDG’s Goal 1 (eradicate extreme poverty and hunger) in
2012 (Okoye, 2016).
ii) Source of Finance: Source of financing a CDS project is the most serious issue CMs battle
with whenever the issue of project comes in especially with the recent policy of NYSC that
disagrees with any form of personal spending of CM’s personal money to sponsor a CDS
project. Sponsorship is actually a critical issue as one has to go from organisation to
organisation or from individual to individual after getting an approval from the management
of NYSC. In commercial states like Lagos, CMs may find sponsors easily compared to
government dependent states like Yobe and Gombe states. Again, states where Non-
Governmental Organisations are sound, CMs whose CDS project is relevant to the activity of
such NGO may find sponsorship easily as in the case of Oyediran Igbabosanmi Israel, a CM
who distributed over 400 educational materials to children of Kings Technology Academy,
Nongov community, Buruku LGA, Benue State on 28th
May, 2012 which was sponsored by
a United States’ based NGO, Millions4One (Igbosanmi, 2012). The same can be said of States
with headquarters of Corporate Organisations. They can sponsor one’s CDS project as part of
their Corporate Social Responsibility. This is exemplified in the case of Ugochokwu
Chukwudi Clement who got Etisalat and Georgie Pharmacy’s sponsorship to reconstruct

11
school facilities, establish Skill Acquisition Centre, sponsor free medical service for sugar
level screening and HIV/AIDS test and many other donations and sensitizations in three
different local government areas of Anambra State (Dowex, 2015).
iii) Community Support and Cooperation: Communities in dire need of projects are observed
to have been very participatory and cooperating in implementing CMs CDS projects
(Abdullahi, 2016). Community’s cooperation is a key in this regard as they are the
beneficiaries. This is why CMs are encouraged to consult the benefiting community and carry
them along from inception. An instance where community cooperation is high reveals that
CMs finds it easy to initiate and execute projects and vice versa. E.g. Okuboarere Dortimi
Patience’s renovation of blocks of classrooms at Sanre community of Baruten LGA of Kwara
State where community triggered her and donated all the sum of ₦190,000 for the project
(Arowona, 2015). Community cooperation also led to sourcing about ₦5,000,000 at Chikun
LGA of Kaduna State by the then CM Miss Onuoha who built a Corpers Lodge at Gaya
community in the state in 2012 (Ikeji, 2013).
iv) Favourable Governmental Policies and Actions: A governmental policy that favours the
CMs activities actually encourages them to work harder. For instance, Federal Road Safety
Corps (FRSC)’s policy of making CMs a third tier of FRSC actually makes them feel among.
As such, various community projects were implemented in ease, some of which are even
sponsored by the FRSC itself. Furthermore, governments that socialize with CMs encourage
them to do more. Hussaini Hassan, a serving CM at Owerri, Imo state on 26th
June, 2016
shared on his Facebook timeline that Rochas Okorocha’s invited them to break their fast with
him at Government House, Owerri (Hassan, 2016). Another incident is that of Chief Willie
Obiano, Governor of Anambra who showed his human side of governance by visiting CMs
who are victims of fatal accident in June, 2015 at Onitsha (Willie, 2015). Other rewards that
some states give to CMs in the form of gifts, awards and state allowances as in Rivers, Jigawa,
Akwa-Ibom and many other states also encourages CMs.
v) Presence of Vibrant Civil Society Organisations and Community Development
Associations: Where the prevalence of community development ideology associations exist,
they foster and promote community development projects. Augustine Okorodu in 2014 got
sponsorship from Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation, Save the Youth Empowerment Foundation,
(SAYEF), etc. where he cultivated cassava farms for widows at Abagana community,

12
organised cultural reorientation for students at Njikoka community, produced Nigeria Peace
Jingle in the face of insurgency and violence and donated food items to prisons at Awka,
Anambra state (Stephen, 2015). Francis Okoye secured sponsorship at Offa, Kwara state from
Offa Decendents Union, Igbo Community Association, Anambra Progressive Association,
etc. and distributed treated mosquito nets and trained less privileged widows to acquire various
skills (Okoye, 2016)
vi) Existence of Faith Based Organisations: Faith based organisation like Muslim Corpers’
Association of Nigeria (MCAN) and the Nigerian Christian Corpers’ Fellowship have been
of immense importance in the development of various communities. They are associations of
serving corps members of Muslim and Christian faiths respectively. These bodies visit
accident victims at Hospitals and distribute relief materials, engage in environmental
cleanliness like community sanitation, grave yard visitations, organise extramural classes, etc.
as part of their routine community development services (MCAN, 2015; Ayokanmi, 2015).
Other religious organisations like Nasrullahi Fathi Society of Nigeria, Ansaruddeen Society
of Nigeria, Council for Muslim Corpers’ Affairs, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Secret
Heart Church, St. Cyprian Parish, etc. have been of immense assistance with sponsorship of
community development projects (MCAN, 2015; Okoye, 2016).
vii) Presence of Philanthropists and Politicians: Prevalence of such individuals has been of
assistance to various CMs in need of sponsorship of developmental projects. In Edo state for
instance, Honourable Dada and Honourable Momoh were recorded to have sponsored
Ayokanmi Oyoyemi’s personal CDS where he enroll two (2) less privileged students for
WAEC African Examinations Council (WAEC), sensitize community people on hand
washing, donated drugs to health centres at Ijagbe community of Edo State. More so, at Offa
LGA of Kwara State, Justice Adegbite, Alhaji Tajuddeen Owoyeni, Alhaji Asisi Bukoye, Mr
Adesoye, and few others were recorded to have immensely assisted in sponsorship of training
of less privileged mothers on skills acquisition and distribution of treated mosquito nets by
Francis Okoye in 2012 (Okoye, 2016).
Conclusion

13
From the foregoing, it is obvious that the Community Development Service scheme of National
Youth Service Corps is well articulated and structured. It is also clear that the compulsory scheme
has recorded enormous developments in various sections of the country from its adoption to date.
However, it is been faced with routine challenges which hinder the smooth operation and also
lower initiative, morale and effective service delivery by service CMs. As such, the paper
concludes that lack of encouragement and motivation of CMs, lack of interest in a particular CDS
group, forceful posting of CMs to groups and loss of spirit constitute core hindrances to the smooth
implementation of the component and this will be addressed by encouraging and motivating CMs,
allocating CDS groups based on interest, enactment of favourable governmental policies and
actions, as well as enormous support and cooperation of CSOs, NGOs, communities, politicians
and other philanthropists.
Recommendations
The paper recommends that Nigerian government should retain the scheme while pooling more
resources towards the improvement and encouragement of CMs welfare. Award winners be
celebrated in national media so as to encourage the prospective CMs. Other motivating factors
should also be devised so as to encourage CMs to embark on CDS during their service year.
The management of NYSC should review the bureaucratic procedure involved in project execution
so as to ease some of the issues. CMs should be allowed to choose CDS groups and the freedom
to engage in projects of their choice.
CMs should also be determined and develop the spirit of improving the lives of people especially
those serving in rural areas and encourage their friends to do same. Negative comments by people
in various communities or colleagues should be disregarded totally.
