Things not allowed in NYSC camp
Before being sent to their Place of Primary Assignment (PPA), Corps members go through a 21-day training program at the NYSC Orientation Camp. Man o’ War, NYSC officials, and members of the Nigerian Army supervise the training at the orientation camp. We shall list the things that are prohibited from entering the NYSC camp in this section. To avoid any problems, you should not bring these items to camp.
Some things are restricted because the Nigerian Army is in charge of security and training at the NYSC camp. We covered supplies needed for the NYSC orientation camp in our earlier piece. Before we move on, you might want to have a look at it. Thus, today we’ll concentrate on the items you should not take to camp.
If you bring these items to camp, soldiers may confiscate them, expel you, or even arrest you for prosecution. It’s crucial to understand that life at the NYSC camp differs significantly from normal everyday life; the camp is akin to a military zone where indiscipline is not tolerated.

Are Phones Allowed in NYSC Camp?
I want to stop here, although there are many other restricted items like guns, bombs, and so on. Bringing those things to camp is just finding trouble from soldiers and NYSC officials.
Funny enough, some of these items are even a serious offense if you attempt to bring them near the camp gate. If you sneak them in, you will be decamped at any time.
