Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria at a Glance
MCAN is an acronym for the “Muslim Corpers’ Association of Nigeria” and has for more than three (3) decades achieved a very close relationship with Muslim gradates that have successfully qualified for the one-year National Youth Service in the various states of the Federation.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme brought to limelight by the Decree No 24 of 1973, made possible in Nigeria the deployment of eligible graduates from universities and other relevant institutions of higher learning within the country and abroad to undertake a National Service in states/areas other than their state of origin. This then made it possible for fresh Muslim graduates to gather under a platform which the Muslim Corps Members could organise and coordinate themselves for the purposes of collectively carrying out Islamic responsibilities; hence, the formation of Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria (MCAN).
The Association was inaugurated during 1978/1979 service year. MCAN has its National Headquarters in Mabushi, Abuja and branches all over the 36 states of the Federation including the FCT.
The Association was registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria in 1994. The membership of the Association is open to all serving Muslim corps members in the Federation and the FCT. All serving Muslim corps members constitute MCAN upon registration with MCAN at their arrival on the various NYSC Orientation Camps.
