In Nigeria, a graduate is almost ineligible for employment in governmental establishments (and most private establishments) until they have completed the mandatory one year service or obtained the relevant exemptions. Graduates who are exempted from the service include those above the age of thirty and those with physical disability. During the service year, it is expected that the Corps members have the opportunity to learn the cultures of other people; some sort of cultural diffusion and assimilation. The Nigerian Government set up the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as a scheme to involve Nigerian graduates in nation building and the development of the country.

Nigeria is regarded as not only the most populous African Nation but also one of the most buoyant economies. The implication is that Nigeria is a Mega-country and as expected in every mega-city, there is the existence of mega-projects; expectantly existent in the form of buildings and mega-structures.  Nigeria hasn’t really disappointed in that regards. However, the concentration of these sky-high/ high-rise, mega buildings have been within the axis of Abuja and Lagos; evidently so because, of the two cities, the latter has served as the administrative headquarters of the country, while the former is currently serving as the administrative headquarters. That factor in itself has served as a key factor in spurring rapid growth in those cities and the economy, as well as the kinds of structures existent there.
