Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Broadcasting serves as a critical tool for shaping perceptions, influencing behavior, and mobilizing citizens for national initiatives. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria was established to foster unity and national development among young graduates. However, participation levels and public perception of the program vary significantly across regions. In Yola South Local Government Area, Adamawa State, broadcasting plays a pivotal role in disseminating information about NYSC, highlighting its benefits, and addressing misconceptions. Programs on television and radio often feature testimonials, discussions, and government updates that emphasize the importance of youth participation in nation-building. Studies indicate that well-structured broadcasts can positively influence attitudes towards the NYSC scheme, encouraging more young people to enroll (Ahmed & Bello, 2023; Musa, 2024). This study investigates the role of broadcasting in promoting NYSC participation in Yola South, focusing on its effectiveness and areas for improvement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the widespread availability of broadcast media, the NYSC program continues to face challenges such as low participation rates, misconceptions, and resistance from certain communities. In Yola South LGA, factors such as limited access to media, language barriers, and lack of localized content may hinder the effectiveness of broadcasts in encouraging participation. Additionally, there is limited empirical evidence on how broadcasting influences youth attitudes toward the NYSC program in this region. This study seeks to address these gaps by exploring the role of broadcasting in promoting NYSC participation in Yola South LGA.

2. Broadcasting significantly influences youth attitudes toward the NYSC program in Yola South LGA.
3. Challenges such as limited access and inadequate content negatively impact the effectiveness of broadcasts in promoting NYSC participation.
1.6 Significance of the Study

By examining its impact in Yola South LGA, the research provides valuable insights for media practitioners, policymakers, and NYSC administrators.
