What is the next step after the NYSC orientation camp exercise?
This is a question many corps members ask and are begging for answers.
After the NYSC orientation camp, the next step is to collect your posting letter from your platoon officer (if you didn’t apply for relocation inside camp).
Your posting letter will tell you where you have been posted to carry out the national assignment.
After NYSC orientation camp, you will see some people that will travel back to homes, some to their places of primary assignment and some others will just be stranded.
Do not travel after NYSC camp unless you have been relocated to another state.
Here are the things to do after your NYSC orientation camp exercise:
1. Report to your PPA
The first thing to do after NYSC camp is to go to your place of primary assignment.
But if you get relocation while in camp, then go to the NYSC state secretariat in the new state they relocated you for documentations.
If you don’t meet up to report in your PPA, you can lodge in the corps members lodge or any religious body corps members and report the following day in the morning.
Ensure you collect your posting letter from your camp platoon officer before leaving camp because you need to report to your PPA with your posting letter.
When you take your posting letter to your PPA, they will either accept or reject you.
If they reject or accept you, they will write it on the detachable part of the letter.
Whether you are accepted or rejected, take the document the employer will give you to your local government inspector.
The contact is in your posting letter.
Make one photocopy of your posting letter before taking it to your PPA.
For example, if your PPA is a secondary school, the principal of the school will stamp the detachable part of your posting letter, and then write either “Accepted” or “Rejected”.
Whether you are accepted or rejected, remember to take the detachable form to your LGI’s office for documentation.
2. Report to your LGI Office
This is actually 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.
If you are rejected in your PPA, DO NOT proceed to step 3 until you get another PPA.
Most times, your LGI or zonal inspector will repost you to another PPA or you find one for yourself.
3. Enjoy your 2-weeks leave
After you have completed steps 1 and 2 above, the next thing is to enjoy your 2-weeks leave.
You can use your leave opportunity to travel home and meet your people.
But before you travel, you need to write and submit a leave application letter to the NYSC state coordinator through your LGI.
