Which NYSC camp is regarded as the best?

Delta, Rivers, Lagos, Abuja, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Kaduna and Kano are the camps named as the best in Nigeria.

2) Every prospective corps member must undergo a COVID-19 test at the camp before registration.

3) Prospective corps members are to complete the COVID-19 Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) self-reporting form and print the verification slip, which must be presented in camp for the test.

4) Those slated for the 2021 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course should travel to the camp shown on their call-up letters. Foreign-trained graduates must report with their international passport and the originals of every document they uploaded.

5) Corps members are strongly advised against night travel to camp for their own safety. Where a journey runs past 6.00pm, they should break it and spend the night in military or police barracks, NYSC secretariats, corps lodges or other safe places. Call-up letters should be read diligently, since they carry all relevant information and guidelines.

6) Parents and guardians should warn their wards to stay security conscious, to avoid boarding vehicles by the roadside or vehicles not registered with the NURTW while travelling to camp, and to use only government-approved motor parks so they do not fall prey to criminals. Wards should equally be warned about the dangers of travelling at night.

7) COVID-19 safety protocols will be strictly enforced in all orientation camps. The scheme has partnered the NCDC and state health officials to keep the camps free of COVID-19, while liaison with security agencies is ongoing to ensure corps members’ safety. Enquiries should be made wherever there is doubt, and NYSC will readily provide information.

8) Prospective corps members from monotechnics must present their National Diploma (ND) certificate, in addition to other relevant documents, as a precondition for registration at orientation camps nationwide.

12) Similarly, anyone who is not eligible to take part in the service corps, or who has been duly issued a Certificate of National Service or Certificate of Exemption but still participates, will be prosecuted under Section 13, sub-section 2(a) and (b) of the NYSC Act, Cap N84, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

13) In observance of COVID-19 protocols, prospective corps members must report to camp strictly on the dates stipulated in their call-up letters and abide by all non-pharmaceutical interventions, including handwashing at designated points. Staggered reporting is intended to prevent overcrowding and to allow physical and social distancing. Every corps member should come to camp with enough face masks and a pocket-size hand sanitiser.

14) Following the recent announcement by the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, prospective corps members should note that from 1 December 2021 all federal civil servants, corps members included, must show evidence of COVID-19 vaccination before they are allowed into offices and orientation camps. Presentation of a forged COVID-19 certificate is a criminal offence.

15) Married pregnant and nursing mothers who were not deployed to their husbands’ places of domicile can now proceed to the NYSC orientation camp in their spouse’s state of residence for the orientation course. They must present the following, in addition to other relevant documents:

Evidence of marriage
Identity of husband
Evidence of husband’s place of domicile

Documents required at the NYSC orientation camp

Original call-up letter, or a call-up letter printed online
Original statement of result or certificate endorsed by an authorised officer with an authentic signature
School identity card
Foreign graduates must present an international passport and original copies of all uploaded documents
Medical doctors, pharmacists, physiotherapists, nurses, medical laboratory scientists, radiographers, optometrists and graduates of Health Record & Information Management must produce evidence of registration with their professional bodies
In addition, every prospective corps member must present a certificate of fitness from a government or military hospital, affixed with a Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) stamp and showing his or her health status, before registration
