Apply for army recruitment, Delta govt urges eligible youths

Delta State government has appealed to eligible male and female young graduates in the state to apply for the Nigerian Army Direct Short Service recruitment, known as SSC/DSSC combatant Course 48/2025.

The appeal is coming following the disinterested attitude of youths in the state when it comes to enrolment in the Nigerian Armed Forces as the state hardly fills up its quota during recruitments.

A statement on Friday by the Chief Executive Officer of Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, said application was ongoing and would close on 15th September, 2024.

He added that interested applicants should log on to the Nigerian Army website; www.recruitmrnt.army.mil.ng to complete free online application and attach relevant documents/passport photos.

He disclosed that male and female applicants must be between ages 23 and 27 by January 2025, a Nigerian as defined by the Constitution of Nigeria; must hold not less than Second Class Lower Division degree in Arts, Sciences or Humanities from accredited institutions of higher learning.

Applicants, he added, must also be physically, mentally and medically fit according to Nigerian Army standards, and without any criminal records and not convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Dr Oghenesivbe further stated that application is open to both civilians and serving military personnel, and on completion of training and duly commissioned, the officers shall serve in the Artillery, Engineering, Signals and Intelligence Corps of the Nigerian Army.

He pointed out that applicants must be recommended and attested by at least two recognized referees, who are either Local Government Council Chairman/Secretary, or an officer of the Armed Forces not below the rank of a Lieutenant Colonel or equivalent  – Assistant Commissioner of Police, who must hail from the applicant’s state of origin.

He said the Nigerian Army SSC/DSSC recruitment was in tandem with the job and wealth creation programmes of the state governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, as encapsulated in his MORE agenda.
