Well, the camp is good I'm an ex-corper who served there...

Anambra state is peaceful...the people are friendly and the environment is good.

As for the camp, try and arrive there during the day. Cos from the express to the main camp is like 5km, and the road is more like a hill...I believe it would be worse this rainy season.

There are bike men who operate there during the day, but if you arrive there at night, believe me, you wouldn't find it funny.

There are no banks around, so make sure you come with enough money that can sustain you throughout your camping.

The hostels are quite ok...they are iron beds (double bunk) you should come early so as to get good foams cos most of them are less than 1cm thick.

Umunya camp uses temporary electric wiring, there aren't sockets in some of the hostels...so if you want to get your phones and other gadgets and devices charged, try and arrive there early so as to get a hostel that has socket.

As for the toilets, they're really messed up, but the bathrooms are manageable.

The camp environment is quite ok, its surrounded with cassava plantations, and there are large mango trees, and a big football field in the center of the camp.

For your ppa, just pray and hope that you're posted to Awka, Nnewi, Onitsha or Agulu, and you would enjoy your service year.

Good luck.

From ph enter RSTC (rivers transportation company) to Awka, drop at NYSC camp not umunya b/stop cos umunya b/stop is quite far from the camp.

Once you alight at the camp, cross, over to the other side and you would find bike men who would take you inside.

They charge between N70-N100

Good luck.

I served dere many years ago(lol, just 3yrs o)Nnewi north or no where, trade whatever it takes to get it . Get ready to serve gallantly though because dem dey use Corp members well for that state.

Hi guys, Please can anyone give us the direction from Lagos State to the camp in Anambra State? And also the cost implication to get there. Thank You.

jigabanty: Hi guys, Please can anyone give us the direction from Lagos State to the camp in Anambra State? And also the cost implication to get there. Thank You.

From lagos, enter a bus going to Enugu, tell the driver that you're dropping at the NYSC camp. He will stop you at the camp gate, from the camp gate, all you have to do is to cross to the other side and enter a bike going inside the camp.

From Lagos to Enugu shouldn't be more than N3000 (three thousand naira)

And from the camp gate to the main camp isn't more than N100 (hundred naira)

Good luck and safe journey.

I really appreciate you guys'comments and concerns towards all the new corps members' hitch free and comfort-ability to the camp and also in the camp. But we'd appreciate recent information and not outdated ones. Therefore if you served 3 or 4 years ago, make sure the information you are passing across has passed through the test of time. Thank You

Anambra camp.

Usually, you might not find a direct bus going to Awka from lagos, so you're left with Enugu bound buses. They all ply the same route anyways.

But tell the driver that you're coming down at Umunya NYSC camp Anambra state...So if he has any other route in mind (eg Agulu road route or old road) to bypass the onitsha traffic, he would ensure that he stops you at umunya.

The state Allowee is N4,800 (four thousand eight hundred naira)

Mtn and glo are ok...I used them both when I was in camp, and as far as I could tell, they were good.

Hello Fellas, If you've been posted to Anambra State, as a Batch B 2013 Corps Member, please lets get to know ourselves here... I rep Ekiti State University, I'm Olajiga Bankole AKA Jigabanty... *Winks*

CrazyMan:
Where are you coming from?

'm coming 4rm Oyo state

Akinlekanwr: 'm coming 4rm Oyo state

From where you reside in Oyo State, take a bus going to Onitsha (I'm sure you would find them there) drop at the last bus stop (upper iweka)

From upper iweka, take another bus going to Awka (it shouldn't be more than N200) stop at NYSC camp, cross to the other side and take a bike inside.

Good luck and safe journey.
