Become a hostFrequently asked questions
Where can NYSC corps members stay after orientation camp?
Corps Stay lists verified hosts near NYSC offices and Places of Primary Assignment (PPAs) across Nigeria, offering short-term rooms — free or paid — so you have somewhere safe to stay while you complete documentation and find permanent housing.
How do I find accommodation near my PPA?
Use the state filter on this page to browse rooms near your posting. Each listing shows the host's city and, where given, the specific NYSC office or area it's closest to.
Is Corps Stay affiliated with NYSC?
No. Corps Stay is an independent accommodation service built for corps members — it is not part of, affiliated with, or endorsed by the National Youth Service Corps. For registration, call-up letters, or certificates, use the official NYSC portal linked below.
Do I need to verify my NYSC status to book a room?
Yes — before your first booking request, you'll be asked to submit your NYSC call-up number/state code, green card, and PPA posting letter for admin review. This protects hosts by keeping the platform to genuine corps members.
Is it safe to pay a host directly?
For paid stays, payment goes through Corps Stay via Paystack and is held until the host confirms you've checked in — you never need to send money directly to a host beforehand.
