Why Is This NYSC Calendar Important?

The NYSC orientation camp is the first and one of the most important phases of the one-year national service. During the camp:

• Corps members receive lectures, engage in drills, and are exposed to leadership training.

• Your State Code Number is assigned, determining your Place of Primary Assignment (PPA).

• You undergo basic medical screening, documentation, and are introduced to SAED (Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development) programmes.

Knowing the exact camp dates helps you:

• Prepare essential items like white outfits, power banks, mosquito nets, etc.

• Arrange transportation ahead of time.

• Sort out academic and family commitments before reporting to camp.

Important Note on Date Changes

While the above calendar is highly reliable, it’s important to keep in mind that NYSC may shift these dates for several reasons including:

• General elections

• Public holidays or religious events

• Administrative or logistical issues

As such, you’re advised to follow official NYSC updates and join groups where verified information is shared.

Orientation Camp ≠ Online Registration

Many Prospective Corps Members confuse online registration dates with camp dates. Here’s the difference:

• Online registration is when you fill out your details on the NYSC portal.

• Orientation camp is when you physically report to your assigned NYSC camp.

Both activities are announced separately, and this article is only concerned with the camp calendar. If you want the mobilization and registration timetable, check out our full article:
