Debut Book: Beyond The Usual
About The Book
Beyond The Usual adopts a creative storytelling approach to highlight the need for Nigerian youths to utilise their skills and talents in creative ways that contribute towards social impact and development, especially during their service year in the NYSC.
The foreword of my book was written by Nigeria’s Ex-President and Founder of the NYSC program, His Excellency, General Dr. Yakubu Gowon.
It is a must-have for every prospective Corps member, serving corps member, undergraduate student, and young people alike.
- It shares imperative information and stories about going for NYSC,
- The history of NYSC,
- Items needed for NYSC camp,
- Do’s and dont’s during camp and throughout the NYSC year,
- How to optimize your service year,
- Ideas for community development projects for Corps members,
- and other stories.
It reminds us of our responsibility of service to ourselves and our society.
Progress Oberiko shares not just the importance of NYSC in national unity and development, but also her mind-boggling personal experiences during her service year with NYSC; the opportunities she identified and embraced, taking on personal responsibility for people in the local communities, demonstrating the importance of serving others through our own unique skills.
