NYSC Exempts 1,360 Bayero University Graduates from Mobilization - Why

FOR reason yet unknown, about 1,360 prospective corps members from the Bayero University, Kano due for the 2014 batch C orientation course scheduled to kick off on November 4 nationwide have been exempted by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The Guardian learnt from the Students Affairs Unit of the university that only 1,921 prospective corps members, less than 65 per cent of the total fresh graduates, made the mobilization list forwarded by the NYSC to the university.

 Going by the development, those affected prospective corps members currently in their late 29 may not be lucky to serve their fatherland.

 A source in the university told The Guardian that a list of 3,821 prospective corps members were sent to NYSC headquarters in September for batch C as requested, out of which 1,360, representing about 40 per cent, were not lucky enough to make the list.

Abubakar Umar, a graduate of Biochemistry, amidst hundreds of affected prospective corps members who now throng the Students Affairs Unit daily, told The Guardian that “most of them are being frustrated after spending five months waiting for the service. Can you imagine that after spending at lease four years in the university, just for us to be mobilized is now a challenge”.

While some of the students blamed the university authorities for the situation which cropped up after completion of the online registration as required by NYSC, others blamed the NYSC which they accused of engaging in inordinate moves to rake undue gains.

It was learnt that the NYSC had compelled the prospective corps members to register online to obtain their personal data after which additional electronic registration is expected for online call-off letter, all amounting to N5,000.

The Deputy Dean, Students Affairs Unit of the university, Dr. Shamsudeen Umar, debunked the allegation against the institution, arguing that the university has fulfilled all righteousness as required by the NYSC.

Shamsudeen said: “The university forwarded names of 3,821 prospective corps members from Bayero university to the NYSC as at when due, only to receive less than 2,000 list of participants. We are so surprised about this development because this is not the tradition.”

Although a recent memo that originated from NYSC and obtained by The Guardian indicated about 730 prospective corps members from the university could not complete their online registration, suggesting why their names did not reflect in the comprehensive list.

But Shamsudeen who maintained most percentage of the affected persons has evidence that they completed the online registration. “I will disagree with the argument of NYSC because most of those that are coming here have the print out of the online registration. So they cannot give such excuse as far as we know.

Compulsory Documents To Take To #NYSC Camp - Prospective Corps Member

We bring to you according to Corpr things to take to NYSC Camp
 
Heading to NYSC Orientation Camp? Here is a comprehensive list of things you need to take to camp. 

 
First off, the requirements. These are compulsory and you will not be registered in Camp if you don’t have them with you.

PART 1:

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: Since many will choose the N4,000 option to print online, do try to use a café with laser jet printers and not DeskJet. Why? Documents printed with DeskJets are more susceptible to water/moisture damage. Just to be on a safer side and you should do this with any document you intend to keep for a very long time. If you can’t find a LaserJet, use anyone.

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.
Tip: Remember you can reprint your CallUp letter online if subscribed (N4,000) to that option.

2. Registration Documents: Foreign graduates should take along important registration documents verified at the NYSC HQ, 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.

Tip: The forms that will be handed to you are very easy to fill. Attach your passport where necessary and fill them correctly. After your registration, you will be issued with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year.

PART 2:

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. But do not forget to include pins in your stapler if you still decide to take it along.
You will be given a meal ticket that gives you access to the Camp kitchen for the 21 days. Lose it and you have to feed yourself. Even if you do not intend to use it, you will come accross someone who would appreciate the kind gesture gesture.

Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code Number (which you have to wear around your neck all through camp with your ID card), 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.

PART 3:

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 them.

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 pair of low quality white tennis shoes customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given your size although you can find someone with your size and swap. But after the first wash it starts tearing. So just buy yours (white). They also sell this in camp, so in case you are not able to get you could buy in camp just carry extra cash for that because the price would be higher – as with everything in Mammy – because they know you have no choice than to buy. Now, If you happen to camp during the rainy season (Batch ‘B’ & ‘C’), get white rubber sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the Southern part of the country (esp. the South South. Read, Bayelsa). The parade fields/mammy market will be messed up after the rains. You will get this in camp.

12. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.

13. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria and miss out on the fun. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. The nets usually have these. 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 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 you with “Tea-water” or ‘brown-water’ so you can make tea when you need to!

18. ANTISEPTIC/DISINFECTANTS: Such as Dettol etc. 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 jacket, 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. PLATE, BOWL AND CUP: [BRING or BUY] For eating. Important for those who intend on eating Camp food.

25. 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.

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) and extra Network SIMs. Some networks are not available at some camps in remote locations, far from town centres. Once you get your call-up letter, you can find out (from serving corpers or tweet at me @_NYSC) which network has the best reception at your destination camp. If you need data access, find out if that available also. Instagrammers and keekers, if you get EDGE thank your stars.

29. CASH: Extremely important. You would need about N15,000. Then between N20,000 – N30,000 to be ‘just’ comfortable. For those that can manage, say, N10,000 – N15,000. There are lots of things that take up money. Things like food (for those who don’t intend eating from the camp kitchen), energy drinks, recharge cards, charging of electronic devices, laundry, pleasures e.t.c.

Tip: You ‘normally’ wont be allowed to leave camp. So do not be stranded, trust me it’s not a good idea. Just budget N1,000 per day. You could take your ATM card along, incase. (This might sound counter-intuitive since there might not be any ATM in camp and you are not allowed to leave camp. But figure it out…) You can keep your extra cash with the Accounts Department (as the case was in my camp) while some shops offer POS services, you still have access to extra cash whenever you need it. 

If you have a camera you can take it along because you will want to snap a lot of scenes. If you have a Smartphone with great camera, that’s good for you because you can easily take and share photos on social networks.

Tip: If you don’t have any of those, you will have to pay some guys on camp who do that as business to follow you around and snap you wherever you go. They might charge up to N2,000 for the duration of the camping. They should give you all your photos and videos in DVDs at the end of Camping. Or you could wait till the last day of leaving camp and snap at a cheaper rate.

That’s all you need to take to camp!. Waaaait. Where are you going? Now, dont be selfish. You have to share this with your friends, dont you? Click the share buttons below. Is there any item we left out of the list? Let us know.
