At the end of the service year (usually at the 12th month), corps members are gathered in their respective zones for assessment of the service year and debriefing. It is the period when Corps members present their final clearance letters from their employers and submit same to their Zonal/Local Government Inspectors.

Passing-Out-Parade (POP) rehearsals are conducted in readiness for the passing-out ceremony which is usually presided over by the Executive Governor of the State. During the ceremony, those with outstanding performance during the service year are given State Honours Award. For a Corps member to merit an award, he/she must be outstanding in the orientation course, primary assignment, community development service and winding–up exercise.

Note: Passing out parade which is the moment you will say goodbye to the NYSC allowance and your PPA to move on with your life. Can sometimes be on a low key whereby you will go to your Local Government and collect your NYSC certificate. It’s always a day to look out for.

Because of the time we are living in now, there is high likelihood this norm we be changed
