NYSC Batch A 2016 : All You Need To Know by Goodays(m): 1:23am On Apr 22, 2016 |
Congratulations otondos as you have seen where
you have been posted to. To make life easier and
smooth I would give you hints about what to do
and what to expect on your first day. Courtesy:
EVATESE BLOG.
After receiving your call-up letter, you are expected
to report to the orientation camp of the state you
are posted to on the date specified on the letter.
You will reside there for a period of 3 weeks. It
could either be THE BEST 3 WEEKS OF YOUR LIFE
or THE WORST 3 WEEKS OF YOUR LIFE. The choice
is totally yours.
Most people say that it is advisable to get to camp
on the second day and third day so as to avoid the
hustle. From my experience, arriving early actually
paid off for me. It wasn’t like I arrived by 6am but
at least I got to camp by noon.
Now this advice varies from camp to camp. Those
camps that are always filled up like Lagos, Ogun,
Abuja, Oyo etc. are always crazy on the first day.
My camp was smooth and easy-going, maybe
because I was just lucky.
Let’s start the process together …….continue
reading
PART 1: ARRIVING AT CAMP
I was surprised to know that some people arrived
at camp the day before so as to get good
accommodation and maybe some to bypass the
hustle. At my camp I can say it didn’t pay from my
perspective.
When you enter camp, just start embracing
strength and endurance for 3 weeks. You would be
directed to the Police post where your luggage
would be checked so as to ensure everyone
complies with expectations of what not to bring to
camp. You would write your name and be given a
number that is very important during the
registration period, so do not misplace it. I almost
did .God saved me. Luckily for me the soldier that
I met to search mine didn’t even do that so I
didn’t waste time. Always have your documents
handy and ready at any stand or post for
registration. Also always have a biro and your
passport ready as to avoid insult and
embarrassment from officials.
PART 2: ACCOMODATION
This was kind of easy at my camp then. I got in
line with other female otondos. Mine took place
near the female hostel. I wrote my name after
showing them my temporary number that was
issued to me at the police post. Then I was
directed to a room to pick up a mattress. You
shouldn’t expect comfort o. The bed was so flat
that I just adjusted my mind to take whatever was
given.
Then from collection of mattress you will be
directed to your rooms for the 3 weeks. The
mattress that would be given is nothing to write
about. I’m sure they are up to 20 years old. They
are just an inch thick. This is very important and
this is where you have to be smart to get a good
one. I was with my friends and we wanted to stay
together but the official there was forming work.
Alas, we got to stay near each other. If you know
you can’t tolerate people and their behaviors, it is
advisable you take the upper bunk. Top bunkers
have to either keep their stuff on their bed, on the
side of the bed, or ask if their bunk mate to share
their space under the bed. But if you want the
comfort of the down bunk no problem. An
advantage of the down bunk is that you could store
your stuff (suitcase, buckets, etc.) under the bed.
Be smart about it. Most people always fight for that
space though. I chose the bottom bunk because I
didn’t want to worry about hopping on and off.
This process can vary from camp to camp and
also depending on when you arrive at camp. Also
most of the bunks there are spoilt so just get ready
to accept anything. You have no choice.
PART 3: REGISTRATION
Always ask questions to avoid mistakes and
insults o. Ensure your files and documents are with
you at every point in time. Firstly, check for where
your school number is then when you hear that
number you go there and do some clarification,
this can be called Issuance of Counterfoil. Or it
could be different. Well I can’t really recall every
step but I know that the queue wasn’t that long. It
took me 2 hours to finish up. Your call-up letter
would be clarified for originality and authentication
by UV / Mercury Light verification, you will be
taking another passport regardless of the ones you
have for the computer registration and verification
process. Then this is where you would be given
your permanent state code number for the whole
service year. Ensure you fill whatever forms that
would be issued to you correctly. Avoid mistakes.
PART 4: KIT COLLECTION AND PLATOON
REGISTRATION
This is the last phase. It’s where you collect your
NYSC issued kits to you. This can be very
annoying in the sense that you can hardly be given
your size. I was given a big shoe and extra-large
outfits. Those that get early enough had collected
the reasonable sizes; I guess that is an advantage
of coming early. The kits that would be given to
you at first are the pair of tennis shoes and pair of
jungle boots. You could then look for someone to
exchange with – for example, if your shoes are too
big, you might be able to find someone with big
feet who was given a smaller size, and then swap.
If you are lucky (and that’s extremely lucky), you
might just find your exact size.
You would then have to locate your platoon stand.
Your Platoon number is the last digit of your state
code. For instance if your given state code number
is 0503, then you are in platoon 3. Every corper is
attached to a platoon and most of your activities
including morning drills, competitions would be
conducted according to platoons.
This is like you nuclear family for the 3 weeks.
Here you would fill some forms, then will be given
a pair of the NYSC khaki Trouser and jacket +
belts, 2 white t-shirts, 2 white shorts and 2pairs of
socks and NYSC crested vest. You would be given
some small booklets like Camp Schedule, the
NYSC anthem, rules and regulations, etc. |

lalasticlala, i think this is worth a space in the front page a great piece i must confess.. I'm among those that just passed out and i think i should give a little advice too as regards the early going to camp, to we posted to ogun state i think a day before is okay because all in all it aided those who went to the orientation camp during our set i inclusive to register on time and settle down into the camp activities quite early notwithstanding the commencement of the parades same day before 2pm.. the 3weeks was fun for me not because i engaged in any of the vices but my mind was made up that this camp i'm going to enjoy it come what may and i think that will help too and note that following INSTRUCTIONS JUDICIOUSLY stays you out of trouble thereby aiding you to avoid embarrassing moments and ruining your goal of enjoying the fun accompanying the camp wishing all prospective corp members a blissful three weeks and a great experience in your service year good morning nairalanders |
