DELTA State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, has again appealed to all applicants of Delta State origin, who applied for the 88th Regular Recruit Intake of the Nigerian Army, to participate in the ongoing recruitment screening exercise.
The Pointer reports that the screening commenced on Thursday, December 5 2024 at the the Cenotaph Complex in Asaba, the state capital, and would end on Thursday, December 19 2024.
The Director General of the Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr Fred Oghenesivbe, in a statement yesterday, said Governor Oborevwori, through the State Committee on Awareness Creation for Youth Enlistment into Military and Paramilitary Services, directed that the 25 local government chairmen in the state, ensure that applicants in their respective LGAs are promptly assisted to attend the screening exercise.
