Good day all, I'm a corps member serving in the FCT who left the orientation camp about three weeks ago.

While in camp, I applied to an NGO that I actually wanted to serve in, but the application process included an assesement and interviews which took a few weeks to complete. As a result, I couldn't complete it before camp was over.

I was posted to a private university by NYSC in Abuja that I find unsuitable due to a number of reasons:
1) I was placed on desk duty in a department very different from what I studied.
2) There is no accommodation provided for corps members and the school is far from where I currently reside.
3) The NGO pays considerably more (almost double) than what the university pay corps members.
4) The NGO deals in research which offers me valuable experiences and aligns with my field of study.
5) There is a high chance of getting retained after service by the NGO

Now, I have been given a request letter by the NGO I wanted but the problem is I have already been accepted and documented in the University.

Please, how can I go about changing my PPA now?
We were told in camp that we should not influence changing our PPA or there would be consequences but considering the economic situation of the country, the PPA prospects and my future plans, the NGO is the best for place for me.

Any advice, input and recommendations on how to proceed are highly appreciated.

Mods please help move to front page for more views.

Thanks.

Go and protest

Tell them the truth
Maybe they’ll let you go and improve on their services
Or they’ll tell you to stay back and assist them
That’s if they have common sense
But no matter what tell the truth

Go and protest

Boss, no now.
