This piece is aimed at enlightening Corp members who are posted to Jigawa for their service as well as enabling others who are posted to other states to have a mental knowledge of what is obtainable as a Corp member in Jigawa:'A New World,' as the Slogan goes.
Please do ignore all typographic errors as u read. They are not intended.

This piece will be coming in fractions as I wouldn't want to miss any vital part of the state behind as a result of unnecessary summaries.

LET'S ROLL!


I am a 2015 Batch A Corp member, from Ebonyi state who had the privilege to serve in that far north. I kud still remember wen I printed my call-up letter in April last year n saw Jigawa State in it, I had no option den Dan to conclude Dat I wud hv to remobilise next time. After much thought n consideration, I decided to go. I haven't been to the North b4 den and trying to locate wia Jigawa is was an uphill task. I called many people I kud den and one later directed me to NYSC section in Nairaland here, Dat I wud get all I need. I obliged.


When I Checked in, I saw a thread abt Jigawa Batch A Corp members n I quickly followed it up. From there, we created a Whatsapp group and it worked wonders. I left Ebonyi to Anambara state on 4th May to be precise because it is always advisable to Leave a day before camp opening. Wen I got to Awka, I asked of The Young Shall Grow Motors Park and an Okada man took me there. Wen I got there, I was surprised to see other Corp members who were going to North as well is large numbers. Fear n anxiety was the order of Dat day n after all said n done, we left Awka around 6pm to jigawa enroute Kano.

We drove all through the night till morning yet we hadn't gotten to Kano not to talk of finding our way to jigawa. By God's Grace, we arrived Kano around 9a.m feeling sleepy n exhausted. Let me also take this time to advise those of u who are preparing to pass through such long -nyt journey to abstain from much fud n alcohol in particular because no one is goin to match break for u because u r pressed till u get to Abuja to refill gas.
From Kano, those of us going to jigawa boarded a Sienna to Fanusai camp at Jigawa which lasted for abt an hour n half.

OP reading your last update brought back memories, and even tears as I remembered the day I left where I served in Oyo West LGA, Oyo state. That day was the last time I shed tears as I saw my landlord crying as I was leaving. Just like you, every person I met back then made my stay a great one and I'm never gonna forget anyone of them. Thanks for sharing this your wonderful experience with us.

She asked if I'm not going to come again, I told her that things ate difficult now. She angrily dropped the call. We haven't talked toll today because she doesn't take her calls. I feel for her sha.
