5 Ways To Make The Best Use Of Your Time At NYSC Camp

Evening everyone, in tonight post we will be sharing on the best use of your, one in a life time camp activities. If you think about that for a minute alone, you will know it is not worth it complaining all through this one time experience

We will focus on group & activities that can make the NYSC Orientation Camp worth it, as you can get you connection for relocation, money, posting & particularly time away the sunny parade ground

Three weeks “orientation” period spent in a military-controlled boot “camp” away from family & friends, can be nothing but a beginning of many things for you, if you join places to increase your luck

1. Join the important groups

It is one thing to be in camp, it is another to be part of the important activities

a. Join OBS
The Orientation Broadcasting Service (OBS) is a great way to serve while in the camp. A very important unit of the camp, it will offer you opportunities to not only develop your editorial & media skills, you will get to know the key officers in the camp. It also gives you a measure of authority & allows you to get an exemption from some of the camp activities which you may be averse to

b. Join Man o war
They are the special squad that welcomes dignitaries to the camp, after the quarter guards have saluted them, they are also rewarded for this duty and can keep you away from the sun on the parade ground
That are likewise trained to lead the fellow platoon members in man o war activities, it is not a serious work like that, you will have fun singing, dancing & jumping

c. Quarter guard & parade leader
This is not always fun, but if you have experience with matching before, it will be easy for you. You can get connected if you excel also at this

d. NCCF/Muslim Corpers Exco
The whole essence of all this group is been active and there is no other place your been active can be rewarding than in your religious setting executive team

2. Run a small business
You can actually make money while at the orientation camp. You can offer services such as hair dressing or laundry to others in the camp who need them for a fee or you can rent a stall at the Mami market and sell food items which most corpers need from day to day. It is a great way to hone your business skills before you are launched into the labour market

3. Do an online course
The orientation period does not have to be all activities and socializing, you can further develop yourself on the side by registering and going through a short online course during your stay. The good thing about online learning is that it is flexible so you can actually plan it around the time that you will be leaving the camp

4. Socialize and actually meet new people
The NYSC scheme was originally established to encourage oneness among citizens in the country & promote national unity. By sending these individuals to other states, the expectation is that they mix with people of other tribes, social & family backgrounds and learn the culture of the indigenes in the place they are posted. Rather than sticking to yourself all through the orientation process, use your spare time to actually fraternize and get to know the people in your platoon & camp as a whole. You would be surprised how many new things you will learn about Nigeria & what connections you may make for the future

5. Start applying for jobs/Publish project
The orientation period is not too early a time to start sending out your CVs to potential employers. The NYSC orientation can actually serve as an avenue for corpers to share job information and career resources, so take advantage of that and start early. No better time to publish your work. It always come out helpful

Note: that many of the camp officials you see are NYSC staff, that person might be your LGI, assistant LGI or something. So be nice to them, and be on the lookout for good PPA opportunities

If you find any of these helpful, kindly share with a platoon mate and camp colleague.

Together, we’re better informed

Gov. Oborevwori Urges Corps Members to Acquire In-Demand Skills

The Delta State Governor, Hon.(Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori, has charged Corps Members deployed to the State to embrace skills acquisition as a pathway to self-reliance and national development.

The Governor gave the charge during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course held at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Issele-Uku. Represented by the Secretary to the State Government and Chairman of the NYSC State Governing Board, Dr. Kingsley Emu, he emphasized the need for Corps Members to acquire relevant and in-demand skills that would make them productive and competitive in today’s evolving economy.

According to him, discipline, dedication, and commitment to the service of the nation remain essential virtues expected of every Corps Member. He noted that Nigeria places great hope in their collective efforts toward building a stronger and more prosperous nation.

In a demonstration of the State Government’s commitment to the welfare of Corps Members, the Governor donated 10 cows and 200 bags of rice to complement camp feeding. He further assured them of sustained government support, announcing plans to commence the rehabilitation of the camp’s multipurpose hall, construction of a new borehole, and the provision of 1,000 mattresses to improve their living conditions.

A total of 2,614 Corps Members took the Oath of Allegiance, administered by Justice Onome Marshall Umuokoro, who urged them to remain law-abiding and uphold the ideals of the NYSC scheme throughout their service year.

Earlier in his welcome address, the State Coordinator of NYSC Delta State, John Vandi T. Kwaghe, warmly received the Governor’s representative, and other distinguished guests to the ceremony. He commended the Corps Members for their resilience, discipline, and commitment since their arrival at the orientation camp.

Mr. Kwaghe also expressed appreciation to the State Government for its continued intervention in improving camp infrastructure. He, however, appealed for additional support, particularly in the provision of an ambulance, a utility vehicle for emergency response, a 150 kVA generator and an additional borehole to enhance water supply within the camp.

The ceremony featured colourful highlights, including the symbolic oath-taking exercise and a Man O’ War tug-of-war display both of which drew admiration from guests and Corps Members alike, adding excitement and significance to the occasion.

Strength in Synergy: The Power of Unity — Corps Members Charged at Day 4 Morning Meditation

The morning mist at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Wannune lifted to reveal a community finding its rhythm. Following the excitement of their swearing-in, the latest brigade of nation-builders gathered for a meditation session that was less about quiet reflection and more about the power of collective action.

The air was charged with a renewed sense of purpose as Mrs. Victoria Ogwuche took the stage. Her message was a stirring reminder that the Nigerian dream rests on the shoulders of the united. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of "United we stand," she challenged the Corps Members to be the generation that heals old divisions, turning the diversity of the camp into a singular force for peace and progress. It wasn't just a lecture; it was a call to brotherhood.

This visionary outlook was met with the practical wisdom of the Camp Director, Mr. Edwin Ughanze. Welcoming them as full-fledged "bonafide" members of the scheme, he urged everyone to dive headfirst into the high-energy world of SAED, Man 'O' War drills, and inter-platoon competitions. Yet, amidst the excitement, he dropped a necessary anchor of discipline: stay vigilant, guard your belongings, and respect the journey. He ensured that every heart and soul was accounted for, providing clear paths for worship and spiritual grounding.

Understanding that a strong nation requires a healthy mind, Mr. Akile T.T. offered a compassionate bridge to the Guidance and Counseling Unit. He reminded the Corps members that true strength lies in the courage to speak up. Whether facing the rigors of camp life or personal burdens, no one should walk alone.
