Over 800 young men and women from Delta State have passed the first stage and have been invited to the next screening for the Nigeria Army, the 92 Regular Recuit Intake, 92 RRI.

Dr Latimore Oghenesivbe, Director General of the Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, announced the figure in a statement issued in Asaba on Wednesday.

He credited the high turnout to the state government's public awareness campaigns and media publicity.

He praised Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for prioritising youth employment under his M.O.R.E Agenda, and said army service offers steady pay, allowances, healthcare, training and career growth.

He also pointed to recent pay increases across the armed forces.

Oghenesivbe urged shortlisted applicants to arrive at the screening venue with all documents in order, follow official guidelines and behave with discipline and honesty.

He stressed that the process is merit based and that no one can guarantee enlistment.
