Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta
Ogun State NYSC Secretariat.
This is the administrative office of the National Youth Service Corps in Ogun. It oversees the welfare, documentation, and the general affairs of youth corpers in the state.
This is a very safe location.
From Abeokuta, follow M.K.O. Abiola Way and Presidential Bouleva road to Central Bank Road/Logbara-Magbon Rd/Presidential Blvd. Continue on Central Bank Road/Logbara-Magbon Rd/Presidential Blvd to your destination.
Before heading to Ogun State NYSC Secretariat, here are some helpful things to take along with you:
While there are secretariats in all local governments in the state, this is the headquarters and so houses the State Coordinator, along with other high-ranking state officials. You report here after your 21 days at the Orientation Camp to get assigned to your Place of Primary Assignment (PPA). Weekly Community Development Service (CDS) is also held here, along with the NYSC-sponsored Skills Acquisition Entrepreneurship Development program. This is also where to go if you have inquiries about the NYSC scheme in Ogun State.
As long as you are fully kitted in your NYSC uniform, you have no fear of being turned away. Different people have different tales of how they interacted with the officials and staff but I have found that a smile, knowledge of the local language, and an appealing face help for positive interaction. It will be wise to befriend one of the staff as you never know when an inside-ear will be needed.
You will see a lot of Corps members, NYSC staff, SAED Instructors, and hawkers here.
