Locating a good PPA can be so challenging as a PCM, especially if it’s your first time visiting your state of deployment. In this article, we are going to be making things easier for you by listing the best places of primary assignment (PPAs) to serve in the state.
To begin with, Yobe State is a state in Nigeria, located in the northeastern part of the country. According to research, it was created on the 27th of August, 1991. It is believed to be carved out of Borno State (a state closer to Yobe).
The beautiful state is known to have a very large landmass in terms of area, coupled with its natural wonders and beautiful landscapes. As a Corp member posted to Yobe State, you can visit some beautiful tourist attraction sites such as the Gooya Valley, Ngazargamu, Dagona Birds Sanctuary, and the Gujba Forest Reserve.
Although most people in Nigeria tend to have some fear and phobia for northern states, it is assured that the military personnel have swung into action to curb the unrest in the state.
The state is known to be blessed with 17 local government areas, with its capital known as Damaturu. They include Bade, Bursari, Damaturu, Fika, Fune, Geidam, Gujba, Gulani, Jakusko, Karasuwa, Machina, Nangere, Nguru, Potiskum, Tarmuwa, Yunusari, and Yusufari.
Aside from the beautiful landmarks in Yobe State, there are other benefits to executing one’s primary assignment in the state. One of them is the fact that food items are usually being sold at a cheaper rate as compared to other states in Nigeria.
Another benefit is the fact that the state government is known for providing corps members with some form of stipend. We gathered some information from some corps members, and we were told that the state government usually pays them N2,500 to aid them through their service year (allegedly).
