Accommodation in Abuja of one of the biggest problem for corpers before PPA.

The reason is houses are overly expensive here. A comfortable self cointain with light, water in suburbs areas like Kubwa, dutse, Apo Resettlement, Lokoguma, Gwarinpa etc. go for nothing less than 200k, i won't want to even talk about the rents in developed areas cos that isn't my target here

As a corper serving in abuja, the best thing that will happen to you is for you to have a family members, relatives, friends leaving there that u can stay with. Else, This is where your frustration starts.

But all hope isn't lost as we have some churches and fellowships that provides cheap/almost free accommodation for corpers who don't have anyone in Abuja or corpers who might want to save alittle from their allowee

1. NCCF
Nigerian Christian corper followship. This is the number one fellowship as far as NYSC is concern. They have 3 family house. One in the Camp at Kubwa another one at Mararaba, and last one is at Gwarinpa.

2. They are well positioned in Abuja and you can stay in any house close to your PPA
