Go to Pg 167 at Batch B corps member (The Big house) for a lot of info abt Akwa Ibom State.

Corpers posted to UYO LGA (Akwa Ibom State)
FACILITIES: Uyo is a small organized town, not as big as Lagos, but it is well managed and it is still undergoing major face uplift, Facilities you may expect to see in Uyo includes, A newly built flyover. (claimed to be finest flyover in Nigeria), The Largest Roundabout in Africa(Completed, its at Nung Udoe Junction), The Longest bridge in Africa (Under Construction) Ibom Tropicana ( Walt-Disney ofAfrica) this is where Silverbird cinema Uyo is located too (Oboy movie na N300 only there), 5 star hotel (lol some corper dey say "oboy u dey mad ooo, wetin I wan go do there"?) Don't Panic if you don't go there ur service year in Uyo is a waste, who knows who u might meet there? its not as expensive as it sounds, just go there and chillout with a bottle ofcoke lol, we have Ultrafit (modern sports center) are u a sportsman or woman? Then this is a place for you, located @ Ewet Housing Estate and owned by former Nigeria Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Nsikak Eduok, men there are a lot of places to visit in Uyo, when you come over, u'll see things for urself..
POWER SUPPLY: Hmmm well even in Abuja there's no constant light, so even in uyo there's no constant power supply; but @ least its manageable....Though power supply is stable along Wellington Bassey Way (Formerly known as Barracks Road), Ekpenyong street axis due to proximity to the Government house and Police barracks...though power supply in some areas are epilepticbut you need to endure...that's NYSC for you.
SECURITY: Well as far as know, there's no safe place even in USA, there are some security loopholes in Nigeria, so Uyo is not left out, but due to the heavy presence of Joint task force in strategic points, tragic moments are minimised in Uyo...at least no bombs( so no fear joor).
NIGHT LIFE: hahahahahaha I know this is what you have been waiting for...(See una face Ashawo-boys n gehs) ok nah...though since the Okada business was banned, night-life slowed a lil-bit, but as of now I think, night-life is coming out of its shell (big time)..there are few clubs and sit-out spots which includes Monty lounge, Lounge-uno, Wimpy bar, Billionaire's club, etc...so no dull moments in Uyo.

Corpers Posted to Oron ( This is the LGA where Maritime Academy of Nigeria is located) some of you may wonder "I've never heard about this institution b4" Hmm well its a professional institution just for the training of seafarers, which include Captains, Marine engineers and their courses is specifically tailored for the Maritime industry in Nigeria, for more info abt the school, just google it, Ok back to the point..... If you are really lucky to be posted to Oron LGA in Akwa Ibom state and also fortunate to be posted to Maritime Academy of Nigeria as a corper just thank your stars....because you'll enjoy a lot of benefits during your stay in as a corper at Maritime Academy of Nigeria. Corpers are paid N30k there, You'll be provided with a lodge, and the school runs a 24/7 power supply, Your security is assured, cos the Institution is a regimented school, powered by the Nigerian Navy... While I was a cadet there, I'm always jealous of corpers serving in my skool cos I just wanted to be like them (posted somewhere similar to my skool) but sha I know God will make a way for me too...That's all folks...pls I will like other corpers in the house to throw more info about their state, conditions and benefits too, at least we'll be enlighten before weare posted to our various places...Thank you

Corpers to be posted to Eket (Oil rich city)
* Eket is the second largest city in Akwa Ibom State , Nigeria,The city itself, an industrial city that in recent years has become a conurbation engulfing separate villages... Don't worry its a nice place full of life, the city is filled with a lot of white expatriate, that means there's a lot of opportunities over there..especially if you work your PPA to ExxonMobil, men that's cool cash for you as a corper...and they pay corpers N50k... And if you are posted to other area like schools, Public Hospitals, don't worry its still OK, People over there are nice, Eket due to its industrial and oil city nature is a relatively expensive city. The government has plans of upgrading the city by the provision of further majorroads in the city and the construction of housing estates,
In the 1990s, western environmentalists were concerned over the activities of oil exploitation in and around Eket, such as Shell and Mobil . The area is now newly"oil-rich" and Eket is the thriving hub of a new oil and gas business, with more than250 companies providing support services such as catering, flights, and exports. However, this success has caused problems, especially a reluctanceby local young men to engage in traditional work such as fishing...So there are a lot of opportunities even after your service year..So dear corpers if you are posted to Eket LGA, don't worry just shine your eyes and use your number 6, u'll surely get what you want
Oops!!! I forgot...for fun-lovers, the beach is not more than 20mins drive, The beach is in Ibeno, and it is very beautiful and nice relaxation spot; and one of the tourist attraction in Akwa Ibom state.

Corpers to be posted to Ikot Ekpene (Akwa Ibom State)
Ikot Ekpene , known throughout Nigeria as " The Raffia City", or locally simply as"IK," is a historic town in the Niger Delta of Nigeria , and is in the densely populated state of Akwa Ibom, so even you don't want to work there in the future, but I assure you that you'll definitely want to come back to buy some of their artworks and artifacts to take back home.
Ikot Ekpene is a commercial city, and is inhabited by Igbo traders, well can I say Ikot Ekpene is located in the best place in Akwa Ibom state? The answer is yes, The town is located on the highway that parallels the coast, between Calabar to the south east and Aba to the west, with the state capital, Uyo , on this road just tothe east. Umuahia is the next major town to the north. So by this Ikot Ekpeneis a 30mins drive to Uyo, 45-50mins drive to Aba, approximately 1hr 30mins to calabar...ok back to the main point
There are good public schools, though some of them are bad due to contractor's honesty to do good job, some schools here are dipilated, due to carry-money-run factor when a contract is been awarded, but don't worry there are still good schools and good public healthcare centers, One of the best Government schools here in IK is the FGC Ikot ekpene, this school has produced great people worldwide, so thereputation of this school is nothing to be compared to, and it will be fun teaching in some prestigious institution, The town boast of other schools which includes: the Ikot Osurua College of Technology, the School of Nursing...The town is not a dull place, there are good number of hotels, clubs, nice sit-out spots, Fast foodcenters and a lot of tourist attraction

Corpers to be posted to Ibiono-Ibom LGA (Akwa Ibom State)
Well I know little about this LGA, should Iterm dis LGA as "political" city, Men dis LGA knows a lot about Politics, this LGA has produced top and high profile men and women in Akwa-Ibom state and nationwide, So if you are a corper, lol you better avail urself in any campaign or election taking place and collect small change put for ur pocket, Though there are good schools and good health centers due to the influence of high profile politicians who come from there..Ibiono-Ibom is always undergoing construction and commissioning of projects (guess that's the best way to embezzle govt money) so shine your eyes and make something out of it, though its not an industrialised area, so things are cheap, there are good roads, water and light (this are wat their politicians are using to score cheap political points) so dear corper flex am well, The area was an agricultural zone, but due to politics, youth are no longer interested in farming again, so in ibiono-ibom the best way for your service year is working in their Local government council(administration work things)...an Ibiono ibom administrative headquarters at Oko Ita is a 15mins drive to the state Capital...u can even decide to stay at Uyo while paying you transport down there

These info are for corpers posted to Akwa Ibom state...though I posted it on the former thread, I'm trying to give benefit of doubt to JJC's

Akwa Ibom state (Uyo as a case) Uyo is a very nice place to be, especially the new infrastructure put to place by the State Governor which includes: Good and beautiful roads, Cinema, At least manageable power supply, good road network system (no hold-up), Cheap accommodation and Transportation, Uyo is a very peaceful place and it is not as big as Lagos, therefore it is a really organised city, Where the problem lies is which LGA you will be posted to in Akwa Ibom state, well I'll tell you the best LGA to serve with most good social amenities includes: Uyo, Eket (oil-rich town), Ikot Ekpene, Abak, Oron, Ibiono, Itu, Ikot-Abasi...though other LGA are good but I'm just telling you the best LGA in Akwa Ibom state and their proximity to the state Capital.

I don't know sha, but if you turn to No 2 on ur call-up letter u can see birth certificate is not needed, but to be on a safe side just carry all necessary documents with you to camp.

I think the moniker OTONDO was coined from ONDO☺ #TeamOndo we too much joor, Just happy almost quarter of our skoolmates are posted to Ondo, we will rock it in a paramilitary way, malingering is allowed, but don't be caught lol

Nicholas4: @ last... Baba God noni.... I was posted 2 Ondo state.... NYSC Ayaya

Welcome to Ondo too bro #TeamOndo

anitank: Pls wat and wat do we need for registration in camp. If u have an idea, let us knw biko

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
*. Original NYSC Call Up letter (maximum of 2 Photocopies )
*. Original Statement Of Result from your School (maximum of 6 Photocopies )
*. Final Year Student ID card ( A laminated copy will be provided for you by your school's SUG, make at least minimum of 4 copies)
*. Passport Photographs (6 passports will do for the basic registrations you will be doing on camp. You will still take another compulsory copies of passport on camp with your AJUWAYA UNIFORM, so add 6 copies to another 6 you will take while on camp, to make it 12 copies in all.) The only reason why you may want to have more than 12 copies is if you have in mind of enrolling for any of the Professional Exams like NIM, and others or other occuring activities that may come up later during your service year.
