Requirements for NYSC Camp – Mobilization Requirements

Requirements for NYSC Camp – The timetable for the orientation course for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Batch B program has been released and it shows that it is barely a month to the beginning of the orientation program. The orientation course is slated to begin in the last week of November and it will be held for three weeks. As a result of this, corps members are expected to report to the different orientation camps in the different states of the country. Below are the requirements each corps member is meant to satisfy to be admitted into the orientation camp:

• All prospective corps members are expected to report to their designated orientation camps within 72 hours of camp opening, arriving later than that will mean the prospective corps member forfeiting the opportunity to participate in the scheme.
• On arrival at the orientation camp, the prospective corps members are required to present the original copies of the documents uploaded on the NYSC website during the registration for mobilization. These are necessary for physical verification of the uploaded documents. Submission of fake documents will mean that the prospective corps member will be decamped and demobilized with immediate effect. The NYSC publication states, “All are also to note that original copies of academic credentials and other documents uploaded during the online registration MUST be presented on camp for physical verification.”
• Recent publication by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) states that asides the educational certificates presented at the orientation camps, they must also present a recent medical report to show their present health status. This is resultant from the loss of three corps members during the orientation exercise in 2016. The management paper stated, “All Prospective Corps members MUST present medical certificate from a government or military hospital showing their health status before they will be registered and admitted for the Orientation course.”
• Asides these, the corps members are required to present passport size photographs and a valid school identification card.
• You should also come with a file or two to properly keep your documents.

Here are a few optional items which could make the prospective corps member’s stay easier at the orientation camp:

• Either a stapler with one or two packets of pins or a bottle of paper gum. It will help while undergoing the registration process.
• Two or three pairs of white tee shirts and shorts. You will be given two sets but for convenience sake it is better to have a couple more.
• You should also get two or three pairs of white stockings as well as one or two white tennis shoes.
• You will need a bucket for taking your bath. This can be bought at the camp market to ease you of the stress of carrying load.
• You should also add to your bag a pair of bathroom slippers, bed sheet, a bottle of Dettol, mosquito net, sponge, soap and detergent.
• You should also you ensure you have with you substantial amount of money to avoid getting stranded during the camp. You can also go with ATM cards as you can gain access to POS machines at the camp market.
