“The opportunity offers a pathway to meaningful employment, national service and personal development through the Nigerian Army recruitment process.

“I urge Edo youths to come forward in large numbers to improve the state’s participation and meet its national quota in the army recruitment exercise.

“It is a chance for young Edo people to build disciplined and purposeful careers,” he said.
