Your call-up letter names your state of deployment, and every state — plus the Federal Capital Territory — has its own orientation camp. Many camps are in towns outside the state capital, so it pays to know the exact address before you book transport.
The addresses below are taken from the official NYSC list of orientation camp addresses. Some camps are temporary, and locations can change, so confirm with your state NYSC secretariat if you are unsure.

Tips for getting to your camp
- Book to the camp town, not just the state. Camps such as Sagamu (Ogun), Iseyin (Oyo), Karaye (Kano) and Boro Town (Bayelsa) are some distance from the state capitals.
- Travel in daylight. The NYSC advises corps members to avoid night journeys and to board vehicles only at designated motor parks.
- Ask about the last stretch. Many buses stop in the capital or a nearby junction; plan how you will get from there to the camp gate.
- Save the address offline in case you lose network on the road.
Temporary camps
The official list marks some camps, such as those in Gombe, Kebbi, Kwara, Plateau and Zamfara, as temporary orientation camps. Temporary camps are the ones most likely to change, so double-check the address on your call-up letter or with the state secretariat before you travel.
Before you leave
- Pack with our NYSC camp checklist.
- Read our guide to travelling safely to camp.
- Find corps members travelling to your camp and plan the journey together.
