Twenty-One Days

When Oluomachukwu decided to return to Nigeria to serve her country by registering for the National Youth Service Corps -NYSC - scheme, she didn't know what to expect. Her first experiences in Lagos, coupled with her personal life issues and activities in camp left her doubting her decision to sign up. But barely two weeks into the programme, she realised that the NYSC scheme had more to offer her than she thought.
