The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp is a place where Corps members are being trained for complete 21 days by Nigerian soldiers before being dispatched to their various Place of Primary Assignments (PPA). Some orientaion camps are in a very good condition, while some others are not something to write home about.

After graduation from tertiary Institution, next is to devote one-year for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme. Since NYSC is a national service, Corps members are paid monthly stipend.
All States in Nigeria have NYSC Orientation camp, and each camp has its advantages and disadvantages. However, it is impossible for prospective corps members to choose a camp since posting is random.
