On the last day in the orientation camp, corps members that didn’t apply for relocation will collect their NYSC PPA letter from their platoon leaders.
This letter will specify the particular company, school or firm to work in during the service year.
If you apply for relocation after camp, log into your portal online to check, download, and print out your letter.
When you get your posting letter, the first place to go to is your place of primary assignment.
That is the place where you will spend the whole of your service year immediately after you leave camp.
Your place of assignment can be a secondary school, a factory, a university, and even a government office.
If you are identified with the fellowship in camp, you may first report at the temporary lodge they will provide.
Then you could report at your PPA later the same day or the following day.
When you leave the camp, home will be on your mind, having been used up in camp life.
Few of your employers (i.e., where you are posted to) will send down vehicles to convey you from the camp to their workplaces; private and some government higher education institutions do.
The fellowship too arranges for you at your cost.
Commercial transporters will probably be available at the gate too. Choose wisely.
You can also change your PPA if it does not satisfy you.
To get a good place of primary assignment, before heading for camp, meet with a company you have in mind and get a request letter (a letter from the company saying that they want you to work with them) from them.
When you get to camp, submit the request letter to the authority and hope for the best.
Your PPA posting letter shows that you have been assigned to a specific organization for your primary assignment.
This letter contains information such as your:
- PPA Name and Contact Address
- Date Posted
- Passport
- Name
- Date of Registration
- Date of Discharge
- Sex
- State Code
- Call-up Number
- Field of Specialization
- Qualification
- Batch and Stream
- Posting Terms and Conditions
- Acceptance and Rejection Form
- NYSC State Coordinator Form
- Zonal/Local Government Inspector Contact

Reasons Your PPA Letter is Not Showing on Your Dashboard
Some corps members face a few challenges when checking their posting letter online.
Your PPA letter isn’t yet showing on your dashboard because of these reasons:
1. Portal Downtime
The NYSC portal may be down due to your phone’s poor data connection or high traffic from the number of corps members checking their posting letters online.
If this happens, wait a few hours and try again.
2. Invalid Login Details
Double-check your login details.
If you forget your password, reset it using the “Forgot Password” option.
3. No PPA Posting Yet
In some cases, your PPA posting may not be available immediately due to late uploading from the state offices (especially for corps members that recently relocated).
You may need to wait a few days after camp before the posting is uploaded.
Preparation
Here is a checklist of things you should do before reporting to your PPA:
- Find out more about the location, especially if it’s in a rural area.
- Plan your transportation. Contact other corps members or locals for directions.
- Get the required documents. Ensure you have extra copies of your posting letter, call-up letter, and ID card.
- Pack all the essentials you may need for your stay.
After Your Posting
Once you’ve checked and printed your posting letter, do these things:
- Within 48 hours, report to your PPA with your posting letter.
- Present your posting letter to the PPA supervisor for acceptance.
- After being accepted, collect your acceptance letter which is required for documentation.
- If your PPA refuses to accept you, report back to the NYSC local government office, and you will be reassigned to a new one.
