Over times, graduates leave for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Camp from their home without proper guidance as to things that are required of them. This has caused setbacks , confusions, and unnecessary expenses on getting to the camp. As such , it is pertinent to guide the corpers who will soon be leaving for NYSC to know things to carry along with them. Below are some guidance and things required of a corper in the NYSC Camp.

1. Prepare Your Mind

First, you have to prepare your mind that you are leaving home for a regimented environment. Life in the camp is deliberately made stressful. It is so to prepare you for any challenge that may confront you outside the camp. You may not find it very comfortable to be in camp but you just have to adjust yourself to suite it.


2. Itemize Improtant things you need

These include:

  • Statement of Result/Certificate.
  • School ID card.
  • Passport photographs of about 10 copies, on a white background. Make it surplus.
  • Call-Up Letter (Do Not laminate it).
  • Medical Certificate of Fitness indicating your health status with appropriate stamp.
  • Buy a transparent bag file to house the aforementioned items. You must go to camp with original and photocopies of these ceritificates.

Other less Important Things A Corper  Needs In NYSC Camp For Convenience Are:

  • Stationeries; pen, Stapler, pin, gum, permanent  marker . These will save you the stress of ‘borrow-me’.
