The Nigerian Army has raised alarm over the poor enlistment of South East youths into military service, and called for a change of attitude to reverse the trend.
According to the Army, while Kaduna State has recorded over 3,000 applications in the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise, Enugu State is still struggling with just a hundred.
While noting that the story was not different with other South East states, the leader of 2025 Army recruitment enlightenment team, Brigadier-General Chima Ekeator urged Enugu and Southeast youths to apply in their numbers in the ongoing recruitment to fill their quotas.
Brigadier-General Ekeator, who made the call during an enlightenment town hall meeting with local government chairmen, traditional rulers, presidents-general of town unions and thought leaders in Enugu weekend, said the people from the region are losing what rightly belongs to them.
