     NYSC

    I don’t want to assume you already know this. It’s National Youth Service Corps. That’s the name of the scheme you found yourself right now.
    It brings together youths from Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges every year to serve their father land. Usually in non-indigenous states.

    ORIENTATION CAMP

    That is the first arm of NYSC.
    It is the camping of the prospective corpers for 3 weeks of great training, rehabilitation and preparation for the task ahead of them.

    PPA

    This means Place of Primary Assignment. That is the exact place u will be posted, to serve after camp.

    That is the place you will spend the whole of your service year immediately u leave camp.
    It may be School, Ministry, Bank, Industry e.t.c depending on your discipline and luck.

    But mind you, as at 2015, 70% of the corp members are now being posted to schools


    CDS 

    Community Development Service
    When you leave camp, you will be posted to join one of the CDS groups in your local government. That is where you will perform your duty to humanity, by meeting other corpers there to develop the community to which you are posted.

    CDS members do have their meetings once in a week. Very important.
    CDS groups may iinclude Medical, legal aid, Charity, NEMA, Publicity, PET e.t.c.
    You can also embark on your own personal CDS which qualifies you for an award at the end of the service year: i will talk better on it latter.


    LGI

    Local Government Inspector
    That man is your boss in your local government during your service year.

    Respect him and obey him.

    ZI 

    Zonal Inspector
    That is the NYSC official in charge of all the corpers in a particular Zone.
    Both the corpers and the LGI answers to him. Fear him.

    LETTER OF DEPLOYMENT

    That is the letter you will be issued while leaving camp.
    On it, is the local government and PPA you have been posted to serve.
    Make sure you get yours before you leave camp.

    ALLOWANCE (Alawi)

    Your monthly payment.
    Still #19,800 as at 2015. You will receive your first alawi on camp.
    Dont mis-spend it. Save some.

    PV

    Payment Voucher
    Is the form you will fill and sign every month to qualify you for your Monthly “Alawi”.
    Without it; no payment and Corper go suffer.

    You will also sign your first PV on camp.

    SAED 

    Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development
    This is a scheme established starting right from camp to help corp members acquire or skill or the other before they finish their service year. The scheme will run for like a week in camp, but you can decide to contine the program after camp (post-camp training).

    How to Serve as a Ghost Corper

    If you like you can call them ghost corpers, absenting corpers, disappearing corpers, or off-site corpers. Whatever you may want to call them doesn’t really matter. But one thing about them is that, they are corpers who are not always/never at their Place of Primary Assignments (PPA) during the service year; probably because of their family, job, or future plans. Yet, such corpers collects their monthly allowances that is due to them without any problem.
