The purpose of the SAED programme is to equip members with additional skills that could make them more employable or improve their future economic prospects.
With that in mind, they are taught things like cooking, shoe-making, bag-making, painting, makeup artistry, photography, and sewing.
Depending on their placement, members may also receive an additional sum directly from their PPA. Even for those who do not find themselves worrying about their safety, living conditions can reportedly be challenging and job placements less than ideal.
When the posting letters for the NYSC orientation camp arrive each year, members who spoke to Al Jazeera say one thing is certain: they will be expected to travel a long way from home. Graduates scramble to find the easiest and cheapest means of travel. Those who can afford it go by air, but many others make their way by road — sometimes arranging buses and travelling together.
Such road journeys are not always safe, and there have been accidents , but corps members brave it anyway. The trip can take a few days and most graduates arrive feeling tired.
But they must immediately sign in, register for their camp IDs, submit their documents, get their mattresses, secure their bed space, and change into their white camp uniforms. Anyone caught not wearing their uniform will be punished. Every morning, corps members must wake at 5am for physical training. Lateness can attract penalties from the soldiers training them: frog jumps for two minutes or more before they are allowed to join the parade lines.
Members march until the sun comes up, after which they are dismissed for breakfast — which can be anything from pap and akara to bread, tea and a boiled egg or rice and stew. But members say meals are often substandard, and those who can afford it eschew them and instead buy food from the more expensive camp market. She attended an orientation camp in May in Yikpata, an area on the outskirts of the state. The camp housed 2, people, similar to other orientation camps described by corps members.
Margaret says the camp was unhygienic and the food substandard. Even the bathing area was really disgusting. Even the walls [of the cubicle] were transparent, I could see from one cubicle into another. If I was dressing up, others could see me. There was little to no privacy. For Olasupo Abideen, a youth development expert, this is an extension of the Nigerian education system, which he says does not equip students with the requisite knowledge needed to thrive in a proper work ecosystem.
The education system does not prepare you for the work environment. Entrepreneurship is taught on the board in black and white and that it is irrelevant. By the end of the orientation camp, most corps members are eager to return home. But it is just a temporary break before they embark on their placement. NYSC Call-up letter.

At Orientation camps , corps members stay for a period of three weeks with military presence where they are trained both physically and intellectually on how to be better people in the society.
At the end of three weeks, they leave the camps and are deployed to their places of primary assignment where they are to serve in their host communities for a period of one year known as the service year.
Corpers are paid stipends or allowances every month by the Federal government. Some State governments also pay stipends to their Corpers to augment what the FG has already given.
At the end of one year, known as National Service Year, Corpers are presented with a certificate, known as the NYSC discharge certificate as proof and testament to the fact that they served their fatherland.
This document is very important in job application processes in the country. As a developing country, Nigeria faces the challenges of dealing with poverty, mass illiteracy, acute shortage of high skilled manpower coupled with most uneven distribution of the skilled people that are available , woefully inadequate socioeconomic infrastructural facilities, housing, water and sewage facilities, road, healthcare services, and effective communication system.
These issues, further compounded by the burden of reconstruction after the civil war, led the Federal Government of Nigeria to set fresh goals, and objectives aimed at establishing Nigeria as:.
