The Federal Government of Nigeria has declared an intention to commence recruitment of officers and soldiers across the country
The Defence Minister, Magashi Bashir, while speaking at the headquarters of the Theatre Command in Maiduguri on an operational visit said the move is part of the government’s strategy to meet up human resource shortfalls as the country battles insurgency and banditry.
The motive of his visit was to bolster the fighting spirit of the troops of operation in Lafiya Dole and motivate them
While addressing the troops, Magashi explained the government’s plan to recruit more hands to relieve battle fatigued soldiers.
He explained to the troops that there are many other operations in terms of banditry and other things in this country and I am sure that given the right tools, you will do this country proud.
“We believe in you, your training, professionalism and we believe you can do the country the requirements of beating the Boko haram as we have it now.”
“There are a lot of you outside in other places both in the northwest, north central and even in the southwest and south-east. Please see this as a sacrifice, see this profession as the profession that it only God you should fear.”
