»»». Go Early:
Please, no matter how close the camp might
be to your street, enable to go early. If you
are posted to a far state, go the day before
the camp opens. They will allow you in.
Going late will make you go through
registration stress. Be warned!
»»». Screening:
The screening starts at the gate, where your
loads are open and thoroughly search. They
don’t want you to bring in prohibited items
like iron, knives, bombs, electrical appliances, etc.
»»». Registration:
The first registration will certainly be for
hostel/Bedspace, where you'll be given tags
to identify with. Then the paper registrations
proper follows. Try as much as possible to
make everything available. Look out for
information pasted on walls. Follow
instructions strictly.
»»». Your Kits:
During the registration, you will get all your
kits 5/5 official kit(shirts, shorts and shoes). Use the
marker to write your Code Number (CN) on
them ‘sharp-sharp ” You will also be given a
tag that will show your CN. That will be your
ID Card temporarily. You take it everywhere
in camp. You will be given a meal ticket.
Misplace it and forget about NYSC food.
»»». Duration:
You will be in the camp for 20 full days. The
21st day is the day you will be leaving the
camp.
»»». No Room For Casual Wears:
Immediately you have your kits, only your T-
shirt and shorts with the tennis shoe are
allowed on you. No room for casual wears.
Parade/marching training starts
immediately. The soldiers will not give you
breathing space at all. You will have the
first one that same Day One.
Watch Out! people could be fainting on the
Parade Ground. You won’t faint, calm
down… So eat well. It’s the stress that
causes their fainting.
»»». Morning Regimented Programme:
A small trumpet wakes you at 4am
Everybody gathers at the Parade Ground
(PG) at 4:30am. You have your praise,
worship and prayer the Christian and Muslim
ways. After the morning admonitions and drills, by
7am, breakfast follows! After eating, you will
be called out again for the series of
programmes lined up for you. Then you have
your lunch. Rest a little and you are out
again for evening parade. Then later your
dinner. This will repeat itself everyday
perhaps except on Sunday.
»»». Hate The Food And Feed Yourselves At
Your Costs: You may not like the food. You
can always go to the Mammy Market (MM)
i.e the Camp Market to fill your ‘tank’ with
delicacies at your cost.
»»». Stealing:
Stealing is prevalently prevailing at the
Camp. This is ‘legalised’. They can steal
anything. Be wise.
»»». Soldiers:
Please i beckon on you all to respect and
obey them. Although they are not permitted
to beat you, however, they can punish you.
No walking, its all jogging when they call
you. Don’t prostrate or kneel down greeting
a soldier. Do it the soldier way. They could
be friendly anyway.
»»». Allawe:
Your first allowance (#19, 800) will be given
to you in the camp, and it will be in cash. All
other ones will be through the bank. You
will also get Bicycle Allowance.
»»». Photography:
Photographers are going to be everywhere
ready to snap you, please be prudent in
spending.
»»». By Now You're Done With Camp &Going
to Your Place Of Primary Assignment (PPA):
You will be posted from the camp to where
you will work. The place you work in is
called your Place of Primary Assignment
(PPA). Hear this: most Corps members, I
mean about 90% of the Corpers will be
posted to schools (especially primary and
secondary schools). Only VERY FEW will be
posted to the universities, polytechnics and
Colleges. It will great if you have a request letter from any firm
you prefer to work at.
Please! Don’t lobby for your posting. Don’t
pay anybody for assistance. Pray rather than
pay. Gone are the days when Corps
Members are posted to Banks and Co.
Receive the shocking or expected postings
as you receive your letters with joy. It’s a
clarion call to service; that’s what dey call
it.
»»». Transportation Out Of Camp:
When you get your Posting Letter, the first
place to go to is your PPA. If you are
identified with the Fellowship in camp, you
may first report at the temporary lodge they
will provide. Then you could report at your
PPA later same day or the following day.
Please, when you leave the camp, home-
sweet-home will be on your mind, having
been used up in the camp. But please, don’t
go home straight. Please! Very few of your
employers (i.e. PPAs) will send down
vehicles to convey you from the camp to
their workplaces. Private and some Govt
higher education institutions do. The
Fellowship too make arrangement for you at
your cost. Commercial transporters will
likely be
available at the gate too. Be wise.
»»». Accommodation At PPA:
You don’t know anybody in Benue or Kogi!
Where will you sleep on the first day (Kogi and Benue people are
nice anyway)? The
Fellowship may give you a temporary
accommodation pending the time you will
have to get yours. You could be lucky if
your employer gives you a room. Many of
them don’t give Corpers accommodation
anyway. So be prepared to rent one at your
cost. Your
first ‘allowee’ which you received in the
camp is already going down!
»»». Clearance:
This is why you don’t have to go home
straight. Your registration (clearance) at the
NYSC Office in the Local Govt you will be
posted to is important. Failure to complete it
before going home is the beginning of your
problem. He may begin to have problems
with his subsequent monthly allowances. Do
all registrations first. Then you can take
permission to go home. Long process! You
will know why it’s so. Well, I hope these few
tips will go a long way to help you.
In order to ensure a seamless registration
process, printing of call-up letters and so
on,
prospective corps members are urged to frequently visit NYSC website.
