Abstract
The aim of the paper is to evaluate Nwala’s effort in the formation of ECSYVSC which was a precursor to NYSC and how they offer prospects for national reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation. ECSYVSC means East Central State Youth Volunteer Services Corps while NYSC means National Youth Service Corps. The paper employs the methods of hermeneutics and Turabian documentation. By hermeneutics, it interprets the activities of Nwala in the formation of East Central State Youth Volunteer Services Corps (ECSYVSC) and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as its national parallel. Also, it interprets the extent to which ECSYVSC and NYSC were/are factors towards realizing the post war maxims of national reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation. In the attempt to realize the stated aim, the paper studies the East Central State Youth Volunteer Services Corps (ECSYVSC) and her reconstruction and rehabilitation activities, NYSC’s mandate towards national integration and reconciliation, e.t.c. The findings show that Nwala’s East Central State Youth Volunteer Services Corps (ECSYVSC) was the precursor to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Also, it shows that National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) gives a more national approach to the activities of East Central State Youth Volunteer Services Corps (ECSYVSC). Also, the finding shows that the civil war was a pressure cooker for the dehumanization, bastardization and the destruction of lives and properties especially in the Eastern Nigeria as orchestrated by the Nigerian army. The implication of the study is a great credit to Nwala’s effort that paid off towards national integration, reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation which were the major national concerns after the civil war.
