The Nigerian Army addressed 45 young soldiers from the 90 Regular Recruit Intake, urging them to uphold discipline and professionalism after their recent graduation ceremony.
The ceremony marked the completion of basic training for the new recruits, who have spent several months undergoing instruction in military skills, physical fitness and ethical conduct.
Senior army officials stressed that strict adherence to standards is essential for operational effectiveness and the reputation of the armed forces.
The directive reflects the army’s broader effort to instill core values in its personnel, a priority given Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges.
The graduates now join a force tasked with safeguarding Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, amid a range of internal and external threats.
