90 Soldiers Selected For Specialized Training

 The participants comprised 12 Air Force officers, 12 drawn from the Navy, and 66 from the Army. The Commandant of the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information, John Agim, said that 90 officers of the Armed Forces have been selected to participate in a specialised training programme.

Mr. Agim made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Monday.

He said the participants comprised 12 Air Force officers, 12 drawn from the Navy, and 66 from the Army.

“Training the military in specialised courses makes them useful to the civil community and also empowers them with skills to assist after their service years,’’ he said.

The commandant said that the training would help the soldiers to integrate with the civil community and resettlement after their service.

Mr. Agim said that the training would also make the officers more useful, urging them to work hard to make good grades.

“You need to shun social lives for the period of the course because combining the two will affect your performance, so you must let go one,’’ he said.

The commandant said the officers would undergo six months training in X3 graphics design and printing, including A3 video operation.
