The Federal Government has given the armed forces and other security agencies the nod to embark on mass recruitment.
The Punch gathered in Abuja on Sunday that the directive was to give fillip to the war against terrorism in the country.
It was also learnt that those who attended the expanded National Security Council meeting in Abuja on Thursday emphasised the need for the recruitment.
A highly placed military source said that President Goodluck Jonathan issued the directive for more recruitment into the army in March after the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Kenneth Minimah, had briefed him about the operations of the army.
The source, who did not want to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said the army did not begin the recruitment immediately because of the need to expand training facilities in parts of the country.
It was learnt that the army would commence the recruitment in May 2014.
Our source said, “We have in the pipeline, the plan to recruit. We are holding it because we want to upgrade our facilities.
“The presidential directive to us to recruit was given in March when the COAS briefed the President. But the excercise would start next month (May)”
The source added that because of Boko Haram and other security challenges, the recruitment would now hold twice a year unlike in the past when it was done once.
