I wrote this article with the experience I gathered as a youth corp member and I want to believe it will help you understand the benefits of arriving early to NYSC orientation camp.
Are you a prospective corp member getting set for a three (3) weeks NYSC orientation camping? Are you the type of person that never really see the benefits of arriving early to any destination.
There are some persons with a habit of coming late for any occasion. Many of such persons would still come late to the camp.
Well, there might be some perceived benefits for them which we do not know. However, the benefits of coming to NYSC camp far outweigh that of coming late.
For prospective corps members, below are Seven (7) benefits you will enjoy if you arrive early to the NYSC Orientation camp.
Benefits Of Arriving Early To NYSC Orientation Camp
- Arriving early would enable you to meet a lot of other corp members who are on their way to the same state of deployment. Their company can lessen the stress of finding your way in this new place alone.
- Most often when you arrive at the major part of the city you will realize that there are free buses available to convey corps members to the camp. A privilege that is not available after a day or two.
- Next arriving early would allow you to follow along easily with the procedures involved in doing your registrations, filling forms, getting a comfortable room, and also settling down.
- You also enjoy the privilege of selecting good NYSC Kits for yourself. Most times, if you arrive late to camp, you are likely to get oversize or extra-large NYSC kits that are not your sizes.
- Settling down early would enable you to embrace your new environment and cut down some of the novice looks on your face.
- Arriving early would also enable you to easily join some vital groups in the camp before entry is closed. These groups like Red cross, SDGs, OBS, and some other important ones.
- In the process of joining some vital groups in the camp, you enjoy the privilege of meeting some NYSC camp officials that could help you facilitate your posting to a preferred place of primary assignment. These can only happen if you arrive early to camp.
NB: To make your stay at NYSC orientation camp smooth and more comfortable, travel to the state you were posted early especially for those posted to a far place. It is best you go the day before the camps open as going late will make things quite stressful for you.
