Best Guide To Change Your NYSC PPA

Best Guide To Change Your NYSC PPA: The question, ‘How can I change my NYSC PPA’ is one of the most frequently asked questions by Corps members. In this post, I will show you best guide to change your NYSC PPA (Place of Primary Assignment).

Changing where NYSC post you (Place of Primary Assignment) entails getting a rejection letter from your PPA boss. So, your lucky ticket to change your current PPA is a rejection letter from the PPA you want to change.

Rejection letter from serves as evidence that the particular PPA does not want your service.

However, getting a rejection letter from your PPA is not as easy as said because your PPA may not reject you if you ask for it, especially when you are an asset to them.

What is NYSC PPA?

In NYSC, PPA means a Place of Primary Assignment. This is a place of work where Corps members are posted to carry out their National assignments after a 21 days training in the Orientation Camp.

A Corps member can be posted to places like; Firms, Schools, Companies, Ministries, Establishments, and so on.

Why would a Corps Member change NYSC PPA? 

There are many reasons a Corps member would want to change his PPA. It may be that they dislike the location.

During my NYSC time, I was deployed to Abia state. After completing 21-day training in the Orientation camp, I was posted to a PPA; very far from what I want.

I wanted to serve in a town, but I ended up being posted to a village school. It was like a death sentence to me because I had no plan to stay in a remote village.

I never knew I could change my PPA because I was not told. How I wish I had this kind of information.

To cut the story short, I wasted my time in a remote village serving Nigeria.

Now, you have seen the power of information? Only if I had the right information at the right time. That is bygone, anyway.

 Best guide to change your NYSC PPA 

1. Polite Negotiations

You need to negotiate with the boss at the PPA you are posted to. Politely ask him/her to reject you, because once you’re rejected, you will have your way to another PPA.

Sometimes, polite negotiations may not work, especially if your PPA boss find you useful to them. For example, if you’re posted to a private school that lack teachers, the proprietor of such school will not agree to reject you?

The reason is simple, most companies, ministries and schools usually write to NYSC, requesting for a particular number of Corps members to serve in their establishments.

Some of these employers wait earnestly for your arrival, and now you showed up, you want them to reject and let you go.

How funny it might sound. They would say a big “NO”!

As you can see, sometimes polite negotiations may fail. But if you have enough reasons to help your request, you may be lucky.

According to a research, it’s very much easier to negotiate PPA ‘rejection’ with public schools than privates schools. 

This is because some public schools may not care if they lack teachers, since it’s the responsibility of the Government to provide teachers.

2. Complain To NYSC

Another way to change your PPA is to take your complaints to NYSC. You need to write to your Local Govt Inspector (LGI), Zonal Inspector (ZI) or to the state coordinator. The letter should be in form of a request letter to change your PPA.

State the reasons you want to change your PPA. Since most PPA do not provide good accommodation, you can use that as a good point or tell NYSC that your life is in danger.

If you have other reasonable reasons, you can bring it up. I bet, if your reasons are good enough, they will post you to another PPA.

So far, I have given you two gentle ways to change your PPA. However, there are other ‘tricky’ ways to go about it. The question is, can you act like Nollywood actors? I believe you can if occasion calls for it.

Trust me, if you can act the following tricks very well, you will get another PPA.

Now, let’s look at the tricks to change your PPA.

3. Display of Aggression

This can be hilarious, but believe me, it will work because no employer would like to have an aggressive staff.

Below is what you should do; 

When reporting to your PPA for the very first time, pretend to be so aggressive. Flair up at every little statement made by the head of your PPA. Always rant and refuse to hear words.

When you meet your employer (head of your PPA) greet him like an angry man (don’t be friendly with him/her)

For example: 

Let assume you were posted to a secondary school but you dislike and want to change the PPA.

Go to the Principal office

You: (with an angry voice) Good morning!

Principal: good morning, how are you?

You: (No response)

Principal: Who are you or how may I help you?

You: My name is there (show him your posting letter) I’m posted to your fucking school.

Be so aggressive to him. Tell him plainly that he must keep all the conditions stated on your posting letter, including providing good accommodation.

With all your aggressive actions, even a desperate employer will reject and let you go even before you ask for it.

4. Act like a stammerer

Wow! This trick will surely work if you act it well. You must have watched enough Nollywood Movies to know how to act.

At the first time you report to your PPA with your posting letter, pretend to be a stammerer. Be should be the first to greet the Principle.

You: My ne ne name is Ama maaa  Amaaaaaaka

Remember you are a stammerer, so try to stammer with every word that proceed from your mouth.

Then, tell the Principal you would like to take an important subject like English or Mathematics.

I bet, the principal himself will help to make sure your rejection letter gets to your LGI.

 Note: Be serious, and do not stammer more than usual before you burst into laugh.

 If laugh at yourself, the Principle might notice you’re pretending, and accept you anyway.

5. Act Jennifer

Hope you remember the TV series, ‘Jennifer’s diary? If you have not watched that movie, you seriously need to watch it because Jennifer’s skills is required for this particular trick.

So, the point is to speak bad English. Tell the principal something like, “I graduating from Madonna University last year, and like to teach English” … continue the conversation by mixing tenses and let your word pronunciation be like from another planet.

I’m sure no principal would like to use such graduate in his/her school.

I’m sure no principal would like to use such graduate in his/her school.

6. Act like a naughty guy

Another way to get rejection from your PPA is to act or speak like a naughty boy.

This method would, however, be suitable for only male Corps members.

The first day you report to your PPA, address the Principle with a word such as “guy”.

Example:

(You entered the Principal office)

You: guy how far (instead of saying

 “Good morning Sir”)

Then, at a point of conversation, tell the

 Principle, “I hope the v*gina of your female students are very sweet? Because I like soft and tight one for my regular press up,”.

Any female teacher or student that pass around, look at their buttock and lick your lip in admiration.

With this, I’m sure the Principle will reject and kick you out of his office.

Note: Once you get a rejection letter from you PPA, take the letter to your LGI, he/she will re post you to another place or you can find a PPA for yourself.

 WARNING: It’s against the NYSC laws to induce your own rejection. This article is for education purpose only.

Asking your PPA boss to reject you because you don’t like the place is against the NYSC laws. Engaging in such act might attract a penalty.
