The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, passes out more than 3,000 newly trained Army recruits at the Depot Nigerian Army, Amasiri-Edda, in Ebonyi State. Both reports describe the ceremony as part of efforts to strengthen national security and the Army’s operational readiness. The COAS charges the recruits to uphold discipline, loyalty, and professionalism as they transition into active service. According to Vanguard, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Appolonia Anele, provides details of the event, including the location and the scale of the intake. The Punch similarly reports that the COAS takes part in the graduation of the recruits, framing it as a boost to Nigeria’s defence capabilities. The coverage is consistent on the key figures—over 3,000 recruits—and on the central messages issued during the pass-out, focusing on conduct and professionalism. No additional numbers, names, or broader policy changes are cited beyond the recruitment and commencement of active service.
