The National Youth Service Corps programme is, among other targets, aimed at promoting national inclusiveness and tolerance in a culturally heterogeneous society. Despite the importance of this programme, little has been done to evaluate its degree of success. Where evaluations are done, they are never made public. There is a need for the NYSC programme, just like all other public programmes, to be evaluated for transparency, accountability and decision-making. From an evaluation of the three measurable objectives of the NYSC programme, this dataset bridges this gap This dataset was collected from Nigerian graduates that completed their national service between 2012 and 2021. The data was collected through an electronic survey posted to various online platforms hosting National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members of the various sets and batches. The data collection aimed to evaluate the three cardinal objectives of the programme. After three years of data collection (from 2019 to 2021), responses were obtained from 19,278 participants that met the eligibility criteria. The data is an Excel (.xlsx) document with 19,278 cases and 95 variables. Descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and simple percentages were used to summarise the data. However, charts are further used to illustrate the demographic attributes of the respondents. The dataset is broad and covers all the 36 states in Nigeria plus the Federal Capital Territory. The data set has many reuse potentials because it contains information on camp activities (such as parades, military drills, redeployment, quality of food, and facilities, among others), primary assignments and community service engagements of corps members. : The data can offer a complete evaluation of how the (NYSC) has attained three of its four cardinal objectives. A series of relationships can further be determined and tested using inferential statistics among the variables included in the dataset.
全国青年服务团计划的目标之一是在一个文化多元化的社会中促进国家包容性和宽容度。尽管该计划很重要，但很少有人评估其成功程度。在进行评估的地方，这些评估从未公开过。与所有其他公共计划一样，NYSC 计划需要进行评估，以实现透明度、问责制和决策。本数据集填补了这一空白，从对 NYSC 计划的三个可衡量目标的评估中，该数据集填补了这一空白。该数据集是从 2012 年至 2021 年期间完成国家服务的尼日利亚毕业生中收集的。该数据是通过向各种在线平台发布的电子调查收集的，这些平台上有不同批次的国家青年服务团（NYSC）成员。数据收集旨在评估该计划的三个主要目标。经过三年的数据收集（2019 年至 2021 年），符合资格标准的 19278 名参与者做出了回应。该数据是一个 Excel（.xlsx）文档，包含 19278 个案例和 95 个变量。使用频率计数和简单百分比等描述性统计数据来总结数据。然而，图表进一步用于说明受访者的人口统计属性。该数据集范围广泛，涵盖了尼日利亚的 36 个州和联邦首都地区。该数据集具有许多重复使用的潜力，因为它包含了营地活动（如游行、军事演习、重新部署、食物和设施质量等）、团员的主要任务和社区服务参与的信息。该数据可以全面评估 NYSC 如何实现其四个主要目标中的三个。还可以使用数据集包含的变量之间的推断统计进一步确定和测试一系列关系。
