After receiving your call-up letter and the excitement of going to camp, the next thing that follows is making necessary preparation for the camp. The NYSC orientation camp lasts for three weeks. And you have to go there well prepared. Your preparation includes getting and packing everything that you will need at the camp.
You will need much more than just your NYSC clothes and NYSC white shorts that you will be given at the point of registration in camp. There are a couple of things that you need to get that would not be given but are very essential for your stay in camp.
We have decided to make the task easier for you and will provide you with a list of things for NYSC camp. We have classified the list of items needed for NYSC orientation camp into compulsory items and essential items
These items are needed to get you through your registration at NYSC orientation camp:
NYSC call-up letter – Your call up letter is the first most important thing you must not forget when you are packing for the orientation camp. Take with you both the original copy and the photocopies you made. It is the only evidence that signifies that you are a real and prospective corps member. And that you are not there impersonating someone else. Also, do not laminate your call up letter to avoid any embarrassment.
School Identity Card – Also, you should take with you, your school identity card. Take with you the original copy and also make photocopies. It will be the proof you will present at the camp to show that you graduated from the institution that is indicated on your certificate.
Statements of Result or Certificates – You are to take with you the original copy and six photocopies of your statement of your result/certificate of the course you studied. If you are a medical graduate/optometrist/pharmacist, you are to take with you the evidence of completion of internship or housemanship and the original copy of your registration certificate with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria/ Optometrist Registration Council/ Pharmacist Board.
Passport photographs – It is recommended that you go with your recent passport photographs. And make sure to make several copies.
Medical Certificate of fitness – You must obtain a medical certificate to show your current health status at the camp from a government or military hospital.
