After the NYSC orientation camp, what next? This is a question many Corps members ask, begging for answers. In this post, I will show you three things you should do after the NYSC orientation camp.
After the NYSC orientation camp, next is to collect your posting letter from your platoon officer. Your posting letter will tell you where you have been posted to carry out the National assignment.
At this point, you will see some people that will travel back to their homes, some to their places of primary assignment, and others will just be stranded. DO NOT travel after NYSC camp unless you have been relocated to another state, gists for relocated corp members will come up later.
The 3 Checklists For Corpers Leaving NYSC Orientation Camp
Report to your PPA
The first thing to do after NYSC camp is to go to your Place of Primary Assignment (PPA). But if you get relocation while in camp, go to the NYSC State Secretariat in the new state to relocate you for documentation.
However, if you don’t meet up to report in your NYSC PPA, you can lodge in Corpers’ lodge or any religious body corpers lodge and report the following morning.
Please ensure you collect your posting letter from your camp platoon officer before leaving NYSC camp because you need to report to your PPA with your posting letter.
Note: When you take your posting letter to your PPA, they will accept or reject you. If they reject or accept you, they will write it on the detachable part of the letter.
So, whether they accept or reject you, you should take the document the employer will give you to your Local Govt Inspector (LGI).
Tips: Make one photocopy your posting letter before taking it to your PPA.
For example, If your PPA is a secondary school, the school’s principal will stamp the detachable part of your posting letter and write either “Accepted” or “Rejected.”
Whether you are accepted or rejected, remember to take the detachable form to your LGI’s office for documentation.
Report to your LGI Office
This is the second step to take. After reporting to your PPA, you will be given a letter that shows whether you are accepted or rejected.
You are to submit the letter to the NYSC Zonal Office or the office of LGI, depending on the distance between the Zonal office and the LGI office.
Note: If you are rejected in your PPA, DO NOT proceed to step 3 until you get another PPA. In most cases, your LGI or Zonal Inspector will repost you to another PPA, or you will find PPA for yourself.
Enjoy your 2-week leave.
After you have completed steps 1 and 2, the next is to enjoy your 2-week leave. You can use your leave opportunity to travel home and meet your people.
But before you travel, you must write and submit a leave application letter to the NYSC state Coordinator through your LGI.
