Army recruitment: Lagos targets 1,000 applications from indigenes

Lagos State says it is targeting 1,000 applications from its indigenes for recruitment into the Nigerian Army in the ongoing army recruitment.

The Secretary to the State Government, Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, said this on Wednesday during a sensitisation programme about the Nigerian Army 89 Regular Recruits Intake for Trades/Non-Tradesmen and Women.

The sensitisation was held at Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area (LCDA) and at Ikeja Local Government Secretariat.

Salu-Hundeyin said that 600 Lagos indigenes had already applied for the recruitment, but the state was expecting to have 1,000 applicants or above, before the deadline for application – May 17.

She noted that President Bola Tinubu directed that every state should have 150 of its indigenes recruited.
