Before You Head to Camp: Key Reminders

Print Your Call-Up Letter: Without it, you won’t be allowed into camp.
Check Required Items: Make sure you have every document needed for registration.
Confirm Your Camp Address: Avoid mixing up states by checking the official NYSC camp address list.
What to Pack for NYSC Orientation Camp
Packing smartly makes camp life easier. Here are essentials every corps member must carry:
- Call-Up Letter (original and photocopy)
- Original school certificates with photocopies
- Passport photographs
- Valid means of identification
- Comfortable clothing and daily essentials
For foreign-trained graduates: Your requirements are stricter. Carry your international passport, original certificates, and every relevant document. When in doubt—pack it.
Travel and Safety Tips for Corps Members
Nigeria’s roads can be risky at night. If you cannot make it to camp before dark, stop at a police station, army barracks, NYSC office, or Corps Lodge.
Travel Smart: Only use vehicles from recognized motor parks. Avoid boarding random cars on highways.
Parents are also advised to remind their children about safe travel practices. More details are available in the official NYSC travel safety guide.
Special Notes for Certain Corps Members
- Married, Pregnant, or Nursing Mothers: You may report to the camp closest to your husband’s residence. Bring marriage or medical documents as proof.
- Polytechnic Graduates: Carry your ND certificate—it will be needed for clearance.
Avoid Trouble at Camp
NYSC takes documentation seriously. Presenting fake documents can lead to severe punishment.
If your Call-Up Letter is missing, don’t panic—follow NYSC’s official replacement process.
Read every instruction on your letter carefully. Missing details could cost you dearly.
