    This camp is a one the most known NYSC(National Youth Service Corp) areas in Abuja. This is where the NYSC orientation camp takes place for newly starting corpers. They have to spend 3 weeks within the camp as part of the youth service. There are series of activities a corper has to take part within the camp. This includes waking up very early at 4am, marching in the parade for hours whether it's under the sun or in the rain, taking part in man-o-war (an obstacle course), attending talks organized by the NYSC and so on. You also have a chance to take part in small Nysc clubs or organization which can influence the CDS or the PPA you get. It is very much advised to come prepared with all the stuff you need and NEVER EVER have positive expectations about anything you will experience in the camp. The days spent in the camp are going to be one of the most stressful experience in your life (unless you did military before). That's exluding other drawbacks in the camp. You may have a room with no fan, window or electric socket or all together. No water or even no light. This camping experience is not for the faint of heart but it will make you a stronger person. One the most important thing you need you get out of the camp is meeting new people and gaining connection. As the people you will meet in camp will be one of your closest friends throughout the service and after. Yes you will complain alot about many things in the camp, even the country itself. But you will complain together with your mates which the strengthen to the bond of friendship. I don't ever want to relieve this experience again, but I learned alot from it.

    The NYSC camp is located on a plain land, surrounded in North and West by Mountains, South by residential building and East by a Major Road. It houses A mosque, church hostels and field. It is spacious too.

    This would have been a nice place to camp for NYSC, but it's not because the infrastructures here are quite poor and they did not fumigate for reptiles and mosquitos that caused so many people to fall sick here, I would not advice anyone else to come here for camping rather they should camp in another state and redeploy herein Abuja, Thank you.

    Honestly, the parade has been going excellently well. Yesterday was fascinating as all the platoons competed. Personally, I feel privileged to be here.
