PPA in NYSC simply means Place of Primary Assignment. That’s the organisation or establishment where you’ll be posted to work after camp. It could be a school, hospital, company, NGO, government office, etc.
For me, after camp, NYSC gave me a posting letter to a secondary school. But here’s what I did to find a better PPA that suited my skills:
– First, I asked around during camp if any organizations were accepting corps members. Some came to camp directly to request for people. – I also talked to older corps members in my area to know which places treat corps members well. – I personally went to a private firm I liked, and they gave me an acceptance letter. I took it to my LGI and they approved it.
Key things I looked out for in a good PPA:
1. A place that gives accommodation or allowance 2. Somewhere I could learn something useful 3. An environment that’s safe and not stressful
To be honest, sometimes you need to hustle your way into a good PPA, but it’s worth it. Don’t just settle for where NYSC posts you if you know you can get something better.
