The Nigerian Army says it’s stepping up efforts to encourage more young Nigerians to join its ranks, this time turning to Akwa Ibom State to mobilise grassroots support.
Youth leaders from all 31 local government areas of Akwa Ibom gathered in Uyo for one goal — to better understand what the Nigerian Army is offering, and why it matters.
Representing the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Brigadier General H. T. Nzidee was resent with a mission to bridge the gap between the Army and young Akwa Ibomites who may not see military service as a viable career path.
Delivering the keynote address, the representative of the Chief of Army Staff and the resource person at the event, Brigadier General W. L. Nzidee, announced that registration for the 89 Regular Recruits Intake for trades and non-tradesmen and women is ongoing, with the application portal set to close in May 2025.
