Rivers State Government has advised youths to enrol during the ongoing military recruitment.
It assured the recruitment team from the Nigerian Army Headquarters, led by Brig.-Gen. Wito Nzidee, of its commitment to persuade youths to enrol in the 89 Regular Recruitment Intake for Trades/Non-Tradesmen and Women.
The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. lbibia Worika, spoke yesterday during a visit to his office in Port Harcourt by the team from the Army Headquarters.
He said Rivers Administrator, Vice-Admiral lbok lbas (Rtd), as a former military officer, understood the benefits of joining the military and would encourage youths to do so.
Worika said his office would review state enlistment processes to ensure gaps were closed, in order to end the abysmal performance of the state in terms of youths joining the military.
Brig.-Gen. Nzidee said they were in Rivers for a sensitisation exercise and called on the government to do more in getting youths to register in the online recruitment portal of the Army.
He said states that were unable to fill their quotas would lose more, as other states would be used to fill up their slots.
