am presently doing the compulsory NYSC orientation in Sokoto state at Government Technical College, Farfaru camp.

The state of the camp is a travesty of a camp befitting of a nigerian graduate. There are no basic facilities: no water, no light in the rooms, we bathe outside, no toilets - the corpers do what is now popularly known as 'shotput'.

The accomodation is nothing to write home about. We sleep on the ground with matresses weaker than d common mats we know. In short we are suffering here & no one seems to be doing anything about it.

We have been told there's a permanent camp which has been undergoing construction for ages now.

Please the authorities should do something about this. The national assembly should see that nigerian graduates are camped in conducive environment because Sokoto camp is inhabitable even to prisoners.
