Sanwo-Olu Urges Lagos Youths to Join Nigerian Army and Build Their Future
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged young people across the state to take advantage of the ongoing Nigerian Army recruitment exercise..
In a statement released by Olumuyiwa Ojelabi from the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, the governor announced that registration for the 89 Regular Recruits Intake for both trades and non-trades roles will end on Saturday, May 17, 2025. Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, at a stakeholder event held at the Olofin of Isheri Olofin’s palace, Sanwo-Olu encouraged eligible youths to step forward and consider the Army as a viable career path.
He said it’s time to change the outdated views about military life, explaining that the modern Nigerian Army offers more than just combat roles. “There are now strong opportunities in tech, education, and personal growth,” Salu-Hundeyin said. The event brought together community leaders, religious heads, youths, parents, and artisans to spread awareness about the benefits of joining the Army.
Sanwo-Olu added that serving in the military allows one to contribute meaningfully to the country while gaining access to professional training in fields like law, medicine, and aviation. He also restated the government’s commitment to supporting qualified applicants from Lagos as they pursue careers in the armed forces.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
