COAS charges officers on good conducts as army screens 3,800 candidates
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya, has charged the recruitment officers in the ongoing screening exercise for 82 Regular Intake, to leverage on the experience garnered from the previous recruitments exercise and improved upon the conduct of the ongoing recruitment, as well as ensure that all goals of the screening exercise are not altered on the basis of nepotism, tribalism or other primordial considerations.
He said only the best candidates who are medically and physically fit, will be recruited into the Nigerian Army (NA) henceforth to avoid engaging people who lacked enormous capacity to do the job.

The Director Manpower Planning, Maj Gen Umar Musa, while briefing the COAS, pointed out, that over 3,800 candidates are currently undergoing screening at the centre, adding that the main goal of the exercise is to recruit young and physically fit Nigerians to fill the manpower needs of the NA.
The COAS also took a tour of the centre during which he inspected completed as well as ongoing projects at the centre.
