If Nigerian Youth Refuse to Join Army, We Will Mandate It for Everybody from Age 18 and Above – COAS
The Chief of Army Staff has warned that if Nigerian youths refuse to join the army voluntarily, the military will consider making it mandatory for all citizens aged 18 and above to serve. This statement underscores the gravity of the country’s security situation and the need for collective participation in ensuring national safety. The army’s stance comes amidst concerns over the disappearance of 10,000 recruits from last year’s intake, highlighting the challenges in recruitment and retention. By potentially mandating military service, the Nigerian Army aims to bolster its forces and effectively combat rising insecurity across the nation.
