Please Nairalanders, I have a brother who studied Food Science and Technology and has got the privilege of choosing a state for service. Please which state is appropriate between Ogun and Oyo. Be kind enough to state your reason(s). Thank you

Oyo state, especially ibadan. Ibadan has become a more developed state in terms of accommodation, infrastructure, leisure and other facilities. He can get places to cool off easily. So many clubs if he's the clubbing type. There are clubs everywhere. Malls too, recreation centres also. Accommodation is affordable. The major advantage it has over abeokuta is one word 'fun'.

If he's fortunate to get posted to Ibadan congratulate him. I was at Ibadan last week and I can say that the city has moved on and apart from the airport you may not need Lagos for any serious reason.
Don't be moved by many negative things you may read online, I strongly believe that in terms of tranquility and cheap lifestyle Ibadan is it.
Its easy to get around,things are cheap, loads of shopping malls, excellent schools for children, more and more media houses,I actually contemplated having a house there.
Advise him to chose Oyo if he's sure he will get Ibadan.Ogun is closer to Lagos and is good too, but stress and cost of living? Oyo is better

thank you for your contribution. How about opportunity to get relevant placement?

As a graduate of food science, ogun state is the best for him. virtually all food industries in nigeria are located in ogun state and lagos.
