3. DO NOT laminate

This would be the dumbest thing to do as a graduate.

Some people laminate their documents because they believe that by lamination, their documents will be protected, especially from getting damaged by fluid or dirt and also gives it the quality of durability.

This can be true! But it has also been proven that laminating documents can cause permanent damage to your documents.

Here are some reasons you should never laminate your documents

Overheating can damage it: The laminating machines can get overheated and damage your documents if not handle with proper care or if it is faulty.
It flattens security seal or emblem: Some important documents have that security seals, and this get flattened out after it is laminated.
Difficult to make duplicates: It may be difficult to get quality photocopies from a laminated document due to its reflective polythene texture.
Finally, NYSC doesn’t want you to laminate your documents: If you laminate documents like Call-up letter or Green Card, they will reject it.

4. Do not give your documents to anyone to hold for you, especially while in NYSC Camp

You something might come up, and need someone to hold your documents while your sort it out.

My advice to is avoid such scenario as much as you can. Always find a way to keep your documents to yourself.

But if you must give it to anyone to hold for you, let it be someone you know and trusted.
