Uyo is the state capital of Akwa Ibom.
Its cool neat but the Most used commercial transport is keke napep...Infact,keke plenty pass Motor for the Capital..Food too cost..T-Fare is super cost mostly when you be corper.
Accompdation no dey available for any corper posted to Capital but if you are posted to other local government,you will be given accommodation(Mostly all PPA gives accommodation except UYO).
You will enjoy uyo when you have money..
Accommodation is not friendly but if you keep searching you will get at least 3k per month (a room)and a self contain is at least 10k per month..Water dey light dey but in some part of uyo like Federal Housing ,light no always available but others dey get light berekete.

Food stuff can kill you if you want to buy cos of high price...Akwa Ibom is good o but na money go make you enjoy am better..

Na here we dey and we still dey survive.

Ekiti is a state in western Nigeria, declared a state on October 1, 1996 alongside five others by the military under the dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. The state, carved out of the territory of old Ondo State, covers the former twelve local government areas that made up the Ekiti Zone of old Ondo State. On creation, it took off with sixteen (16) Local Government Areas (LGAs), having had an additional four carved out of the old ones. Ekiti State is one of the thirty-six states (Federal Capital Territory (Nigeria)) that constitute Nigeria. Ekiti State is reputed to have produced the highest number of professors in Nigeria. Several pioneers academics are from the state. Pioneers like Profs Adegoke Olubummo( One of the 1st Nigerian Professors in the field of Mathematics), Prof. Ekundayo Adeyinka Adeyemi(1st Professor of Architecture in Africa, South of Sahara). Others include renowned academics like Profs J.F. Ade-Ajayi, Niyi Osundare, Sam Aluko and others too many to mention.

Following a prolonged political crisis, President Olusegun Obasanjo imposed a military administrator (General Tunji Olurin) on Ekiti State in October 2006. On April 27, 2007 Olurin was replaced by Tope Ademiluyi. In the PDP primary of 2006, 1st-place finisher, Yinka Akerele and 2nd place Prof. Adesegun Ojo were supposed to be in a run-off to determine who would be the nominee of the Nigerian ruling party when President Obasanjo summoned them to Abuja and imposed the candidate who came third - Engineer Segun Oni. He was later elected in the 2007 election as the governor of the state in an election marred by widespread irregularities and the AC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi challenged his election and forced a rerun in May 2009.[2]

The May 2009 rerun was characterized by even worse rigging and the election was disputed again. Eventually, after three years, the election of Oni was thrown out and Dr. Kayode Fayemi was declared the duly elected governor of Ekiti State.The State is mainly an upland zone, rising over 250 meters above sea level. It lies on an area underlain by metamorphic rock. It is generally undulating country with a characteristic landscape that consists of old plains broken by step-sided out-crops that may occur singularly or in groups or ridges. Such rocks out-crops exist mainly at Aramoko, Efon-Alaaye, Ikere-Ekiti,Igbara-odo- ekiti and Okemesi-Ekiti. The State is dotted with rugged hills, notable ones being Ikere-Ekiti Hills in the south, Efon-Alaaye Hills on the western boundary and Ado-Ekiti Hills in the centre.The State enjoys tropical climate with two distinct seasons. These are the rainy season (April–October) and the dry season (November–March). Temperature ranges between 21° and 28 °C with high humidity. The south westerly wind and the northeast trade winds blow in the rainy and dry (Harmattan) seasons respectively. Tropical forest exists in the south, while savannah occupies the northern peripheries. - Gotten from Wikipedia

I don't want to mislead anyone cause I'm not very sure, I've been in between states this past four years. I'd try to get information though

Kbs468:
Alright and let me see if I can still offer something about Abuja.

Kbs468:
LogoDWhiz, Armynu, DTOBS, infact let me not spam mentions. Everyone just read!!!

LogoDWhiz:
I'll do mine later on.

#Ekiti

InvisibleGirl:
I'm from Ekiti and I've not been there in 17 years. But from what I heard, its not very developed people still live in mud houses. I'd try to get more information.

Armynu:
Like Nigerian Police will say " we are on top of the matter." Will follow suit shortly..

Harbioollah:
I schooled in Ogun, the capital, Abeokuta precisely. It is surrounded by Oyo, Lagos, Osun and Ondo. And it has a close proximity with Lagos and Ibadan.

They pay 5k monthly. But i think it's paid once at the end of service (60k). Ogun is fairly cheap and peaceful.

Transportation is easy and cheap. In abeokuta, they use green cabs/taxis which are many on the road and you can get fares from as low as N20. There are fairly good roads as there has been a massive construction of roads under the SIA government.
Accommodation is cheap, you can get self contained apartments from as low as 50 in Abeokuta . Electricity is improving in Ogun state but i have some mixed feelings about water. Depends on location also.

In Conclusion, Ogun is a nice state to stay. Just that somehow i miss the busy and noisy life of Lagos. But once you are there, do not forget to visit Olumo rock. You will learn about the history of the egbas and how they have been able to survive the many wars.


Btw, Are you from the Southeast or South South? Because security wise, that will be the only logical reason for choosing Enugu which is among the states riddled by the Biafran Protest. And with the way things are going now, i fear what may happen in the future. #My two cents.

Enugu was my second choice too. But that was before. The Southeast is out now for me. I'm still undecided about who to take in the North Central Region.

Good evening Fam...hope your day went well...

About Akwa Ibom State
Name of Governor: Emmanuel, Udom Gabriel
No of LGA: 31.
Akwa Ibom state is one of the state in the south south region of Nigeria. Created in 23rd September, 1987 the state has witness a lot of ups and down in its development. Mostly ups though..

Standard of Living: The standard of living of the state, I will say is medium. Houses are not too costly neither are they too cheap. Basic daily need items are available at a relative price. Price of food items are cheap as well.You can find a standard self contain apartment within the range of + or - #150k, in Uyo town. I don't know much about outskirts of Uyo

Economic Situation: Presently,the economic situation of the state is fairly Ok though government has not paid it's staff for some months now.

Social Status: The social status of the state is getting brighter year in year out.This is so because of the influx of people to the state recently. There are couple of clubs around the state and the night life is trying to pick up though it's still not so excellent. Also,radio stations like planet FM, Atlantic FM are available

Civilization: most cities in akwa ibom are civilized. From Uyo to Eket to Abak to Ikot Ekpene and some other major towns are civilized. Not everywhere is.

Electricity: It depends on the part where you stay in Uyo, there is constant light in some areas n then poor lighting in some other areas. I don't know what is the cause of that disparity.

Water supply: It is constant. In addition almost all houses can boast of borehole in their house.


Finally, to all PCM planning to come to Akwa Ibom for your service year, my source said that the state pays 10k except you are lucky to be posted to FIRS where you could be paid between 25-30k and some private firms too pay within that range, then you should also pray hard that you are not posted to local government councils cause sometimes they could pay as low as 5k in fact they pay just anything they feel like paying...I was told sha... But the least you can get is 10k except in the local government councils.
Transportation: It's quite affordable and Ok generally except during this fuel hiking period


Thank you all for your time to read this insight about Akwa Ibom State.
Yudeeaikay (Uyo).
