| Do Corpers Really Beg PPAs To Reject Them For Better Postings? by Damiese(op): 11:44am On Dec 15, 2025 |
Wetin dey happen, my fellow Corpers? I was chatting with someone who just finished their service year, and they confirmed a crazy strategy: Corpers intentionally seeking rejection from their first PPA to force a better placement or relocation. Apparently, if you get rejected by your official PPA (a formal rejection letter is key), you get another shot at getting a better PPA during your Local Government registration, or it makes your request for state/inter-state relocation much stronger. The reasons for rejection are often hilarious or ridiculous—from "we don't need your discipline" to "staff quota full." But now, some people are literally going to the HR office and begging the manager to reject them so they can escape a terrible posting! Have you guys heard of this strategy, or did you participate in it? Is this actually a reliable hack for a better PPA or relocation? What's the funniest (or saddest) rejection excuse you've heard a corper use? Let's discuss the lengths corpers go to for a manageable service year!

Yes it happens as far back as my youth service days. Some corpers posted to schools will ask to be rejected so they can either apply for redeployment or go and work elsewhere. Some of them end up becoming local government workers and do next to nothing till they pass out |

I did exactly that while in service then.. Initially, they posted me to SEMB in Umuahia, because of my gig, I kindly told them to reject me and then asked me to choose. I chose a public high school, visited them twice a week (Monday-Friday). I didn't spent much time with them, but when I'm present, I teach them to the best... |

Yes! But it's hard for PPAs to grant that request as they are mostly Schools in need of Corpers. Good luck convincing the principal/Proprietor |

Since 1973, it has been happening. |

You don't have to beg them to reject you. If you don't like your PPA, look for an excuse at the back of your posting letter to request for Rejection. |

TimiofAbuja:That's what 90% will end up saying. Nysc year is an unforgettable year. Most times people that did not serve are the ones saying scrap it. |

If you like no hustle for better posting, you go suffer. Nigeria as it is currently structured today is not a country where things come to you because you merit it. You need to hustle it. No go do like my papa weh de form saint, when him mates de hustle promotion and better posting, e de hope on God and him effort, e no know say Nigeria no send you. By the time him realise, e don too late. Train don leave station If no be for my mama weh sabi hustle ehn, na shxt we for chop with that rubbish salary weh him been de collect So yes, corp members do it. Even I did it. And many, if. not all civil servants do it. If not, you go kpai before your time ajeh |

Yeah. I did the same. Told the principal of the school I was posted to that I wasn't interested in serving. Paid her some money, collected a rejection letter and left |

Zonefree:Seems you served so many years ago, you can work your rejection back then, now, you can't, only the ppa can grant such request now. My own time, we dey even do verbal rejection, LI go just arrange another give you |

Damiese:No news here, this has been happening since the 90s. I served in Bauchi. At that time, many Corp members posted to TorovLGA secretariat got rejections on some flimsy excuses, like being asmathic (Toro LGA has about the same climate as Jos). |

Damiese:Please, who have any idea of the registration or how how much am I going to pay to have my company partner with NYSC to allow some corp members work in my company? Anyone with such idea? |

It occurs very well. During my NYSC, I was posted to a school that wanted me to teach JSS1 - SS3. I kindly told the principal to reject me, that I already had an offer letter from another place. The principal agreed. And I carried my rejection letter from the school and the offer letter from another place to my LGI. |
