Ever since I was little, one of my hobbies was discovering new places and exploring them, because, to me, there is nothing quite like traveling and seeing a new place for the first time.


People of all ages, from all around the world, go to foreign places for different reasons and in this post, I will be narrating my NYSC travel experience to Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria...


Please, you're free to also share your Nysc camp or travel experience in the comments section if you've done yours or are still in the process.. 


The term NYSC is not new to most Nigerians. But should in case you're coming across it for the first time. I'll throw some light into it for you quickly..


The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a program set up by the Nigerian government to involve Nigerian graduates in nation-building and the development of the country.. 

Graduates of tertiary institutions are required to take part in the National Youth Service Corps program for one year, which is known as national service year.

They're to arrive at the NYSC orientation camps to be there for three weeks in which thereafter, they're deployed to a Place of Primary Assignment (POP) which could be a school, a hospital, a private establishment, a government or state parastatal, etc. for the rest of the one year..


As a Nigerian Youth, It is compulsory to serve the country, as it is part of the requirements to getting a job in Nigeria, especially if you want to work for the Nigerian government.


At the end of the Service year, a federal government-issued certificate is given to you as an evidence of your 1-year of complete service.


Ok with that said... My starting point of traveling happened from boarding a bus at the park...


My traveling style is always backpack traveling because it can make everything easier... The journey took four hours. because i traveled from Abia State.  Abia State isn't that far from Akwa Ibom, so I just stayed awake looking outside through the bus window and enjoying my journey.

I always love watching the many trees along the road via the window while traveling, it reminds me of the wonders of our creator... 

When I arrived at my destination (Akwaibom), I notice the surroundings first. (I do that a lot). I noticed the nice ornamental flowers planted on the divides of the road, the cool traffic, the roadside drainage's that were designed nicely and the nice traffic lights and cool roads too..




When i got down from the bus at the bus stop, I realized that there were other corpers going to the NYSC orientation camp as well as I, and almost everybody that boarded the same bus which I did all the way from Abia State, surprisingly were also corpers going to the nysc orientation camp.

So  i made friends instantly with some, as we were all going in the same direction...

We had to board another cab to the NYSC Orientation camp precisely at Nsit Atai in Akwa Ibom State, where the NYSC orientation camp is located.


My experience in the Orientation Camp

when we arrived at the camp gate, we were greeted by the soldiers.. They told us to join the queue we saw there. First, our luggage were seriously scrutinized in case of any exhibits.. Electronic gadgets, knives, and some kind of key holders weren't allowed in..


They were seized right there at the gate if any was found.  Our documents were verified, all of them.. Our call-up letters, statement of result, O level result, School ID, etc Were temporarily verified.. I said temporarily because we still went through another serious verification at the next verification line... I felt relieved the moment i passed that step..  


A number was given to me/us during those verification and registration steps...

Whatever the number ended with was the platoon number one fell in... For example, if you were giving 0571, you are meant to be in platoon 1.. 0572, you're meant to be in platoon 2.. but if your number ends in zero (0), like 0570, you're meant to be in platoon 10...
