Buratai to new Army recruits: All of you’ll go to Sambisa at the end of your depot training. The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai has said that all Army Recruits currently undergoing training at the Falgore forest in Kano state will be sent to Sambisa Forest at the end of their training. This is just as he said the Nigerian Army will uphold thoroughness in its recruitment processes to ensure that only qualified persons are recruited henceforth. Buratai made the remarks during the final screening for 80 regular recruits at Falgore forest training camp on Monday in Kano State. He said the exercise was a new approach to the screening and recruitment process of the Nigerian Army noting that it was borne out of the need to recruit the best. The Army Chief pointed out that lessons drawn from experiences in the field had made it imperative to recruit the best saying the faulty process could lead to “faulty training and subsequently, faulty operations’’.

The COAS vowed that all screening for recruitment, selection and commissioning would henceforth be conducted in the Falgore forest. “This is where we will select those that will become cadets and be trained as officers as well because, at the end of all the training, the officers and soldiers will operate together under the same condition. “As such, all must be subjected to a similar process of recruitment and selection.’’ Recall that 6,000 applicants, drawn from the 36 states, have been undergoing screening at the new training ground for enlistment into the army. At the end of the final fitness test, which involves a 20 -kilometre-run for female and 30-, kilometres-run for male, successful candidates will proceed to the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria for training.
