The Place of Primary Assignment (PPA), where corps members are expected to render selfless service for a year introduces the fresh graduates into work environments, and in most cases, these graduates deployed to teach in primary and secondary schools.
While majority of corps members are posted to schools and ministries, a very few of them are sent to organizations where they get proper work experience and good pay for their service.
To get posted to a PPA that’ll pay you well and give you the work experience you need, here are things you need to do
1. Join the Orientation Broadcasting Service (OBS)
The most effective channel to getting a good PPA is by working in the Orientation Broadcasting Service (OBS) for the three weeks.
OBS is in charge of tending to sound equipment, dissemination of information and organizing social activities at the camp.
The Corp members who join the OBS often get preferential treatment when it comes to posting to the place of primary assignment.
2. Being an active member of the NYSC recognized religious groups
At NYSC orientation camps, there are three recognized religious organizations – Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria, the Nigerian Christians Corpers Fellowship and the National Association of Catholic Corpers

Being an active part of any of these groups could help you get posted to a nice PPA as these religious bodies also send list of corps members to the state coordinator to demand for corps members to be posted to certain PPA of their choice.
