Essential document requirements for Orientation camp
- Call-up letter
- Green slip
- School ID card
- Statement of result or certificate
- Medical fitness
- Passport photos (8-10 copies of white or red background)
- Medical PCMs (professional permanent license)
You need to know the importance of each of these documents, so let’s pick and explain one after the other:
Call-up letter
Just as the name implies, it means that you have been called to serve as a recent graduate in the country. It is a means of verification proving you are not a fraudster, that you have completed the NYSC registration successfully, and that you are listed for the exact batch.
Statement of result
It is a document that specifies that you are truly a graduate of the recognized institution of study. This document cannot be issued if you are yet to be satisfied as a graduate of the institution. The statement of result will indicate your graduating statement and your result throughout your academic year.
School identity card
Every institution of study always gives out an ID card to all its students. So, you are expected to present your school ID card. This proves you as an authorized student of the institution.
Green slip/card
You will be given a card immediately after your registration. What this card indicates is that you have truly completed all the registration processes required for the program.
Medical fitness clearance certificate
The whole purpose of this document is to verify health and medical status or ability. Providing this proof that you are not dangerous to others or yourself also means that you are fit physically to engage in tedious or strenuous activity because the NYSC camp activities are mentally draining.

Units or Segments of NYSC
There are four main units in NYSC. Every youth who is a recent graduate is expected to participate in the program within the assigned year.
1. The NYSC orientation camp
This three-week camp course is part of a year-long program where the graduates, the teenagers, are expected to live a regulated life in an enclosed environment. The camp officials arrange and determine their entire schedule in advance. As they get ready for the year-long training, they are taught a variety of self-defense and life-saving techniques.
2. Place of Primary Assignment (PPA)
This is where the remaining part of the year’s activities should be held. It is the location where the young person (a graduate) is expected to work and carry out the program’s overall vision and mission.
3. Community Development Service (CDS)
Recall that the primary goal of the NYSC program is to promote national harmony, peace, and cohesiveness; no state is excluded from this program.
As a result, the government promotes development and growth in small areas through the Community Development Service (CDS) program. Given the size and population of the nation, the president and governors are unable to visit or touch every corner of it.
As a result, they have sent Corp members participants in the NYSC program as delegates to every town and community to aid in the development of the local area to facilitate the development of the nation.
4. Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Department (SAED)
This branch of NYSC assists in preparing and enabling young people to be independent, skilled workers.
Although the school promotes white-collar jobs, NYSC is a proponent of privately owned businesses since they think everyone should be skilled in a craft that they can quickly become the owner of.
