Going for your NYSC and heeding to the Clarion Call is basically the next step for every fresh university graduate. Before going to camp, there are specific NYSC Camp requirements and things you need for NYSC Camp like white shorts, white t-shirts, converse kicks, buckets, green striped stockings, bed sheet and pillows among others.
The basic thing that actually comes to mind is the thought of the necessary preparations you must make as a future corper and possible things you need for NYSC Camp. I mean, your NYSC Camp requirements.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If you don’t prepare, you will have lost a lot and spent a whole lot if money unnecessarily. In the NYSC camp, you will see people who will sell 1 envelope up to 100naira. The funny thing is that you have no option but to buy. This is because you cannot find it elsewhere and you can’t leave the camp.
Another epic scenario is the moment an important document is mentioned and your heart begins to beat ‘kpikimkpokpo’. You realize you forgot them at home.
So, in order for you not to be caught off guard, I have made a checklist of all things you need for NYSC camp as a future corpershun. The best thing for any prospective Nigerian corper is to get all he/she needs just before camp begins.
