If you were mobilized for Batch B then chances
are that you have your call up letter or your
school is yet to hand it over to you. Whether or
not you are for Batch B or C, Local or Foreign
Trained, here are 29 requirements to take to
NYSC Camp 2014. This article is necessary and
you should never joke with it. Of course this
website is Students Nigeria, hosted on
www.campusofofo.com
Please don't be in a hurry. This is going to be a
long article but before we continue, let's name
the requirements. These are compulsory and
you will not be registered in Camp if you don't
have them with you.
Official NYSC Camp Registration
Requirements:
1. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of
camp registration and the only evidence that
you are a prospective corps member (colloq.
Corper, or Otondo) and you are not
impersonating anyone. This will be taken from
and not returned to you. So if at all you even
forget you luggage (lol) never forget this.
Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it like
its your life. I know someone who was sent
back because she forgot hers. Also someone
who had to beg and beg before his letter was
collected because he laminated his own copy.
So please avoid all these stress and make
enough copies of this letter.
2. Registration Documents: Foreign graduates
should take along important registration
documents used in registering at Abuja.
3. Final Year Student Identity CARD
4. Notification/Statement of Result from
School
5. PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very
important. Take as many as you can, about 20
in red backgrounds. You would need them at
every registration point mostly. Then those of
you who would likely redeploy or join one
group or the other in camp, you would need
more than others.
6. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS:
Now make about 5-10 copies of every
document required. There would be
photocopiers in camp at mammy market but
trust me, it is double the price and it saves
time.
7. CERTIFICATES/LICENSES: For Doctors,
Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists, take
along your proof of certification.
8. STATIONERY: PEN, PAPER, GUM, TIPPEX.
Yeah this saves time and lots of unnecessary
begging.
Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the gate
during check-in. So do not forget to include
pins in your stapler if you are taking that
along.
Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code
Number, you can proceed to claim your NYSC
Kit and Mattress after which you can proceed
to get a Room. After you have gotten your kit
and secured a place in the hostels, you can
settle down and you are good to go to start the
Military parades.
Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1 NYSC
Crested Vest, A pair of Khaki Trousers, Cap
and Jacket, 2 White T-shirts, 2 Pairs of
Knickers, 2 pairs of green-stripped
Stockings, A Pair of Orange Jungle Boots and
One Pair of White Converse. A "Belt" is also
included.
DAILY NEEDS:
9. ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS: This is
an essential outfit in camp in fact in most
camps this is the only allowed cloth to be worn
throughout your 3 weeks. Even to church, you
might not be allowed to wear colored cloths.
You would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at
camp to just fulfill all righteousness which
surely would never be your size especially our
very slim and small otondo in size . So you can
bring extra pairs (6). Why? Because you
probably wont have time to wash during the
week after being stressed out from the parades
and Man-O-War drills.
Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of colored
clothes because you wont need it.
10. WHITE SHORTS: I beg you please do bring
yours. you would also be given 2 pairs of
shorts which are really poor in material. They
tear easily and it can be annoying. So my dear
Otondos bring like 4 pairs of shorts. Trust me
also you wont like to wash everyday, so bring
enough to last you like 3 days so that you wont
be stranded.
11. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS
SHOES: This is a very important outfit. you
would also be given an ugly p
12. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.
13. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do
not want to fall sick in camp from malaria. Just
bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to
hang it. I also used mine as a room to protect
my box and properties from thieves and also
from some insects and ants.
14. BASIC DRUGS: Like Panadol or
paracetamol, medicine for your allergies,
menstrual pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs,
antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is sometimes
inadequately stocked with drugs so help
yourself.
True story – A corper from the previous batch
donated at least a million Naira worth of
medicine to our (Lagos) camp clinic, and
barely a few days later, they claimed to have
run out of medicine.
15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from Mammy]
Please lock your boxes and bags to avoid
regrets and tears. I know someone who lost
more than 5 items including his two phones –
like he's the only one in camp.
16. WAIST POUCH: Fanny pack/Bum bag (or
for the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body
purse). The bum bags are more popular
because they won't bang against you when
you're active and your hands are free to do
whatever. You need it to carry your money,
phone, small valuables, pens, etc around with
you at all times. You should sleep with it too.
17. BEVERAGE: The camp will supply u with
"Tea-water" so you can make tea when u need
to!
18. DETTOL : This is very, very essential.
Firstly the bathrooms can be very annoying
and dirty and more importantly, you would
not like to have infection from camp. Bad idea.
Depending on your camp, the water can be
dirty. Most people always have reaction to it.
19. DETERGENT: [BUY from Mammy.] Again,
this reduces the amount of load you're
bringing into camp. However, if you're lucky
the mammy market will have vendors offering
laundry services! It costs about N50 per item,
N100 for your khaki trousers or shirt, extra
N50 if you want your items pressed.
Tip: The Bucket: Buy this in Mammy. Don't
stress yourself taking one to Camp, with
you
N100 for your khaki trousers or shirt, extra
N50 if you want your items pressed.
Tip: The Bucket: Buy this in Mammy. Don't
stress yourself taking one to Camp, which
you're probably going to leave behind after 3
weeks.
Toiletries: Toilet Paper, Sanitary Pad, soap
dish etc. BUY in Mammy.
20. TOWELS
21. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS: [BRING or BUY]
22. Bed sheets, Pillow Cases and A Pillow.
You could also get pillow from mammy market
to reduce load.
Tip: Mattresses will be provided by NYSC. It is
best to "double up" with the mattresses, as
they are about 1 to 2 inches thick. Lol.
23. HANDKERCHIEF:-. There will be BUCKETS
of sweating. Do yourself a favor.
24. FLASHLIGHT OR RECHARGEABLE
LAMPS: [BRING or BUY] Most camps, or in fact,
all camps do not give light except at a specific
time of the day. It's very essential especially at
night when you need to use the bathroom,
early in the morning when preparing for
morning drills and meditations and at night in
case you need to do anything. At the mammy
market, there is always light till they close,
usually 10pm except on days like the Camp
Fire Night. You can charge them there at a
little fee.
Tip: You will be fed three times a day in camp
but I must not lie to you, the food there is
nothing to write home about. They can be nice
on few occasions like Sundays, but most days,
they are poor. If you are someone who loves to
eat good food, make provisions for your own
food. You should get some fast foods along,
some breakfast cereals and beverages. You
should also hold extra cash to eat at the
Mammy market. You will get good meals
there.
25. PLATE, BOWL AND CUP: [BRING or BUY]
For eating. Important for those who intend on
eating Camp food.
26. Some form of entertainment: Novels – for
those who get bored easily, please carry some.
And for guys PSP or chess. also iPod your and
MP3 players for audiophiles.
27. Your Ray-Ban sunglasses for the sun. And
if you can't afford that, get a Ray-Bon. LoL
28. Get extra phone batter(ies)
