How to Get a Good NYSC Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) with Job Opportunities in Nigeria
Are you currently serving or about to enter NYSC? One big question you’ll eventually face is: “How do I get a good Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) that aligns with my career goals?” You’re not alone. Many corpers are posted to random PPAs that have nothing to do with their field—or worse, don’t even offer them growth or job prospects. But what if you could take control of your PPA? At Justintime Travels Nigeria, we’ve helped hundreds of corps members find better options—whether it’s relocation, documentation, or securing a career-boosting PPA. This blog post shows you how to get a great PPA with real job opportunities. ✅ What is a PPA in NYSC? Your Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) is the organization, company, or school where you’ll serve after leaving camp. It’s where you’ll spend the bulk of your NYSC year. A good PPA can: Improve your CV Help you build real-world skills Lead to permanent employment after NYSC 🔑 How to Get a PPA You Actually Want 1. Start Early — Even Before Camp Ends Don’t wait to be posted randomly. Instead: Research companies or schools in your preferred location Call or email HR departments Ask if they accept NYSC corps members ✅ Use Google to search: “Private companies accepting NYSC corpers in [your state]” 2. Secure an Acceptance Letter Before Posting If a company agrees to accept you, ask them for a formal PPA Acceptance Letter. You can submit this to NYSC, and they’ll usually allow the change. Use search terms like: “How to apply for NYSC PPA in a private company” “NYSC PPA with job opportunities in Nigeria” 3. Network with Older Corpers Many corpers find their best opportunities by simply asking others: Who’s hiring? Which companies offer stipends or jobs after service? Where did you serve, and how was the experience? 4. Use Relocation Wisely (if needed) If you’re not happy with your posting, you can request NYSC relocation—but it’s easier if you already have a good PPA ready to accept you in the new state. We assist with: Relocation advice PPA placement Quick acceptance letters 🧠 Bonus Tips Always carry extra copies of your CV and NYSC documents when visiting offices. Be professional. Many PPAs treat the NYSC year like a job interview. Avoid “ghost” PPAs that don’t give you real work experience. 🎯 Final Thoughts The truth is, your NYSC year is what you make it. With the right PPA, you can turn one year of national service into the first step of your career. Need help getting a PPA that actually builds your future? 👉 Contact Justintime Travels Nigeria today.

🧢 10 Side Hustles To Make You Money During NYSC — Even in Remote Places
NYSC can be one of the most challenging and opportunity-filled years of your life. You’re posted far from home. Your allowee disappears within days. And everything costs more than it should. But what if you could use that one year not just to serve — but to start stacking real cash? At Justintime Travels Nigeria, we help people move, explore, and grow. So today, we’re not just talking travel. We’re helping you earn — even from your PPA. Here are 10 Side Hustles you can start as a corps member — with almost no capital. 💻 1. Freelance Writing or Design Got a phone or laptop? Use platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or even LinkedIn to offer: CV writing Logo design Blog post writing Social media management Tip: Offer free work to one or two clients to build samples. 📸 2. Photography / Videography Got a good phone camera or DSLR? Cover birthdays, naming ceremonies, or even create passport photo services in your community. 🧵 3. Fashion or Bead Making If you learned tailoring or beadwork, this is your time to shine. NYSC camps and LGAs are full of potential customers — fellow corps members included. 🛍️ 4. Thrift Resale (Okrika) Source trendy thrift wear from Lagos, Aba, or Kano — then resell via WhatsApp status or at your PPA. You’d be shocked at how much corps members will pay for a good pair of sneakers. 🎨 5. Henna or Makeup Services Especially great for female corps members. Start with one or two clients, take pictures, and grow through referrals. 📚 6. Lesson Teacher / WAEC Coaching Offer after-school tutoring to students in your area. Even better? Help JAMB or WAEC candidates prep — their parents will pay for results. 🍛 7. Food Sales / Meal Prep Sell snacks like chin-chin, puff puff, or small chops. Or offer Sunday meal delivery to fellow corps members who don’t want to cook. 💇🏾 8. Hair and Barbing Services Mobile barbers and hairstylists are in huge demand — especially in rural areas. No salon? No problem. Offer home service. 🧼 9. Soap & Skincare Production With some basic training, you can make black soap, lip balm, or body butter and sell to friends, markets, and even online. ✍️ 10. Grant Writing / NYSC PPA Proposal Help Learn how to draft letters, business plans, or proposals — and charge a fee to help other corps members with theirs. 🧭 BONUS: Turn Your Side Hustle into Travel You don’t have to wait till POP to travel.

🌙 “I Want My Father to See the Kaaba Before He Forgets My Name”
Why More Families Are Pre-Booking Umrah & Holy Land Tours Before Eid The phone call comes just after Asr. A young man — calm, quiet — asks if we still have any Umrah packages for later this year. We tell him yes. He pauses. Then says, almost in a whisper: “I want to take my dad. Before he forgets who I am completely.” His father is battling early-stage dementia. He’s still strong enough to travel. Still lucid during prayer. But the son knows — time is not something they can delay. 🕋 Why Umrah Pre-Booking Matters (Especially Before Eid) Many Nigerian families are now pre-booking their spiritual journeys for later this year — even if they’re not traveling during this current Ramadan or Eid. Why? Because flights fill fast. Because visa processing takes time. And because — sometimes — waiting too long means missing the moment. Whether it’s Umrah in Makkah, or a Holy Land Tour of Jerusalem and Jordan, the opportunity to walk where prophets walked is not just a trip. It’s a spiritual gift. ✈️ Popular Destinations We’re Pre-Booking Right Now: Makkah & Madinah (Umrah): Group and private packages, including hotel, visa, and guides. Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jordan: Explore Al-Aqsa, Mount Nebo, and more with trusted Muslim guides. Special Eid Al-Adha Departures: Reserve your spot now for July & August 2025 pilgrimages. ➡️ Explore Current Umrah Packages ➡️ Holy Land Tour Enquiry 💬 Real Families, Real Stories Fatima and Yusuf from Abuja took their 70-year-old mother on Umrah last year. She had saved for it her whole life — but never felt confident to plan alone. Fatima tells us: “Justintime Travels didn’t just book a package. They guided us like family. My mum cried when she saw the Kaaba. She says she can die in peace now.” 📆 Why You Should Book Now Even if your trip is months away, early planning means lower costs, better accommodation, and guaranteed seats. And more importantly — it means your family can prepare spiritually without last-minute stress. During this sacred season, many are moved to reconnect with Allah. Let’s make sure the intention becomes action. 🙏 Pre-Eid Blessings Begin with Intention Whether it’s your first Umrah… Your last trip with an elderly parent… Or a chance to walk the Holy Land with your children… Let’s plan it together. 🕌 Pre-book your Umrah or Holy Land Tour today. 💼 Justintime Travels Nigeria – Faithful Journeys, Made Easy Extra Resources: How to Prepare for Umrah – MuslimPro Guide Top Holy Land Sites for Muslim Pilgrims
