The Nigerian Army has urged members of the Examination Panel and Directing Staff for Senior Staff Course Qualifying Examination (SSCQE) to continually uphold the virtue of integrity and good character.
The Commander Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC NA), Major General Stevenson Olugbenga Olabanji stated this when he addressed members of the Examination panel and observers at Jaji in Kaduna State.
A statement issued by the Deputy Director of Army Public Relations TRADOC NA, Colonel Muhammad Dole disclosed that the Commander urged participants to uphold the sanctity of the examination processes which runs from 1-5th August 2022.
General Olabanji, also the Examination President, stressed the need to produce officers with impeccable characters, capable of tackling the contemporary security challenges bedevilling the country.
He noted that in line with the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) vision, the onus has been placed on TRADOC NA to create a new regime for realistic training for the Nigerian Army (NA), hence NA training institutions are being repositioned to train officers and men who can collectively achieve the objective of the COAS.
General Olabanji tasked the members of the Examination team to stay above board in conduct, integrity and uprightness, as an examination is not meant to weed off officers from the service, but to improve their capacity and capability in discharging their constitutional responsibilities.
He added that they were selected based on their known abilities and uprightness, thus they have and should uphold the trust the system has put in them by diligently carrying out their tasks without any prejudice.
The Commander Infantry Corps, Major General Victor Ezugwu appreciated the COAS for his continuous support to ensure officers of the NA are properly trained.
He further stated that HQs Infantry Corps Centre (HQ ICC) will ensure that the security and administration of all participating members are adequately handled. He expressed the preparedness of the HQ ICC to make this examination the best conducted in recent times.
The Commander appreciated the COAS for providing adequate logistics required for the hosting and smooth conduct of the examination.
