Addressing the prospective recruits, the senior military officers encouraged them to remain disciplined, focused, and committed throughout the screening process.
They also reassured the candidates that the Nigerian Army recruitment exercise would remain transparent, fair, and strictly merit-based, urging them to give their best at every stage of the selection process.
The welfare intervention by the Delta State Government is expected to boost morale among participants and support efforts to ensure a smooth and successful recruitment exercise.
