The camp is way way off the city center.owerri is moderately expensive and a fun headquarters too.
The people are friendly.
There so many tertiary institutions in owerr,
-Futo
-Imsu
-Alvan
-imo poly umuagwo
-fed poly nekede
the regard for Corp members is minimal
the state is good for fun loving guys

D camp is nt dt bad as u brand it guy

If the camp is dilapidated, can't guys complain? What are the implications of Corp members rallying round to make things right - chairs and make-shift shelter.

Besides, I read that villages walk into the camp freely as there is no fence. How true is this?

To everyone posted to Imo; you are welcome . If coming from any where in the south western part of Nigeria; don't board a bus to Owerri. Instead; board a bus going to Umuahia. And alight at Nkwere junction. A bike of 100 would take you to camp from that junction. If you proceed to Owerri; you'll spend nothing less than 500 to get to camp. If you have further questions; please ask. Corper auno

The respect is only minimal in places like Owerri and Orlu. I am currently serving in a village in Agbaja in Ehime-Mbano LGA. To say I'm very respected is an understatement.

Once you realise that the igbos do not prostrate or bow when greeting; you are good to go

When complaining; please talk to the camp director first. While we were in camp; our allawee wasn't paid on time and we complaine/protested and we were then paid. The guy that went ahead to snap our food and upload on Facebook was called out during morning devotion and disgraced.


The camp director admitted that the camp wasn't the best in camp but he really made efforts to upgrade the camp by providing light; water and other things.

However; he said that the camp was only temporary and a permanent one has been promised by the state govt.

Also bear in mind that the state had of Nysc in Imo has been changed twice in the last 3months. SSO you guys would be interacting with a new person (female I suppose) who might not know the particular problems confronting umudi camp.

My advice is simple; try adapt to the atmosphere and environment. The place can be interesting if you focus on the positives.

U too sabi book. One final thing, shine your eye well in camp. Most of those that come to give lectures are scams. Try as much as possible to find out from working professionals the certifications that would be useful to you in the labour market. Belive me, those guys get sweet mouth. Also, gnld came to give us a lecture while we were in camp. So shine your eyes!
