10 Important NYSC Terms You Must Know Before Going To Camp

There are thousands of these terms everywhere. This list is in fact endless. But I am just giving you 10 of the important ones.



1. NYSC
I don’t want to assume you already know this. It’s National Youth Service Corps. That’s the name of the scheme you found yourself right now. That’s the full meaning. So that Pulse TV did not find you funny one day.
It brings together youths from Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges every year to serve their father land. Usually in non-indigenous states. You will be posted to a far place.

2. ORIENTATION CAMP
That is the first arm of NYSC.
It is the camping of the prospective corpers for 3 weeks of great training, rehabilitation and preparation for the task ahead of them. Its always somehow at first, but as time goes on, it will turn out to be the best.

3. PPA
This means Place of Primary Assignment. That is the exact place u will be posted, to serve after camp. That is the place you will spend the whole of your service year immediately you eave camp. It may be School, Ministry, Bank, Industry e.t.c depending on your discipline and luck.

But mind you, as at 2015, 70% of the corp members are now being posted to schools. School is always fun. You have your weekends, holidays and close by 2pm. So much time for yourself.

4. CDS
Community Development Service
When you leave camp, you will be posted to join one of the CDS groups in your local government. That is where you will perform your duty to humanity, by meeting other corpers there to develop the community to which you are posted.
CDS members do have their meetings once in a week. Very important.

Check the list below for the various CDS groups, functions and purpose we have
Official NYSC CDS Groups List

You can also embark on your own personal CDS which qualifies you for an award at the end of the service year.
We have several examples of people who did well and execute their personal CDS and received an award for that.

5. LGI
Local Government Inspector
That man is your boss in your local government during your service year. You need to be good to him or her. In case you want to change your PPA after documentation, you really need his or her backing. Respect him and obey him.

6. ZI
Zonal Inspector
That is the NYSC official in charge of all the corpers in a particular Zone. Both the corpers and the LGI answers to him. Fear him.

7. LETTER OF DEPLOYMENT
That is the letter you will be issued while leaving camp. A Letter that will indicate the local government and the exact place you are posted to. On it, is the local government and PPA you have been posted to serve. It would be given to you the last day on orientation camp. Make sure you get yours before you leave camp.....

You can also add your nysc terms....
