Nigerian Army Concerns Over Low Recruitment in the Southeast
The Nigerian Army is worried about the low recruitment in Southeastern states during its recent outreach in Abia State. Brigadier General Chima Ekeator noted the region’s youths aren’t maximizing available recruitment slots, with only 53 applications from Abia against nearly 200 allocated slots. This trend is seen across other Southeastern states as well.
To bridge this gap, the Army has initiated awareness activities through town hall meetings with local leaders. Governor Alex Otti, whose Chief of Staff represented him, promised to enhance efforts for increasing youth participation and appreciated the Army’s dedication to nationwide security and inclusive recruitment.
- Only 53 of nearly 200 recruitment slots in Abia were filled.
- Awareness campaigns launched with local leaders’ help.
- Governor Otti promises active youth recruitment efforts.
As the Nigerian Army strives for equitable representation, this gap could impact regional security dynamics and employment opportunities. To engage community thoughts: How can the Army further make these opportunities more appealing to the youth in Southeast Nigeria? Have your say!
