Ikare-akoko Nysc Orientation Camp, Ondo State

The total number of registered corpers were about 1700 and the available accommodation could barely accommodate 1000 hence the hostels were crowded, navigating around the hostel was really difficult. The toilets and bathrooms were the worst. I didn't expect a latrine in a government establishment over 50 years old. Then theres the food. The jollof rice was tasteless, the tea was tasteless, the egusi and okra soups weren't bad though but there were days when the food didn't get to everyone. I also heard a couple of complaints about people stooling because of the food. The camp clinic didn't have enough medicine, If you needed real treatment, you had to send someone out to get you drugs. The camps order of activities were actually good. A lot of enlightening lectures and skill acquisition and the enforced schedule definitely gave one a feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day. I think the government should upgrade the living conditions, the food and the clinic situation and the camp will be a lot more bearable.

Fair environment, but with terrible toilet and bathroom facilities, poor electricity, below-par available meals, dusty atmosphere, but can be fun depending on the other corp members met in the camp per time.

I had a great experience at the camp. It was a mix of fun and a bit stressful. The soldiers and camp staff were really friendly and welcoming. They also have a good clinic available if you happen to have any accidents during orientation. Just a tip: bring a power bank because phone charging isn't allowed in the hostel.

The camp is decent; the parade ground is the best feature so far. The pipe-borne water is powered by solar energy, and things here are sold at lower prices compared to some other camps.

It's an excellent campsite that provides the ideal atmosphere for training and instilling discipline. The camp also focuses on imparting moral values, management skills, and fostering unity among people from various tribes in Nigeria, which is one of its primary objectives.
