Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called on young men and women in the state to consider joining the Nigerian Army, urging them to take part in the current recruitment process.
He stated that the Army provides numerous opportunities beyond combat, with modern roles involving technology, education, and career growth.
The announcement, made through the Secretary to the State Government, Olumuyiwa Ojelabi, revealed that the registration for the 89 Regular Recruits Intake for both trades and non-tradesmen/women will close on May 17, 2025.
Sanwo-Olu’s appeal came during a community engagement event at the Olofin of Isheri Olofin’s palace, where he was represented by Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin.
The event gathered various groups, including parents, youth, community leaders, and artisans, all aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of a military career.
The governor highlighted that joining the military not only allows individuals to serve the country but also provides professional training in fields like law, medicine, and aviation.
He emphasized that Lagos State is committed to supporting eligible candidates from the region.
In response, the Olofin of Isheri Olofin, Olasunkanmi Lawal-Bello, commended the governor’s initiative and pledged to encourage young people in his community to enlist.
He also expressed his support for Sanwo-Olu’s THEMES+ Agenda, particularly in education and healthcare.
