Army Decries Poor South East Youth Enlistment Into Military Service

LarryBravo Nwaiwu
The Nigerian Army has raised the alarm over the poor enlistment of South East youths into the military service, and called for a change of attitude to reverse the trend.
According to the Army, while Kaduna State had recorded over 3,000 applications in the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise, Enugu State was still struggling with just a hundred, noting that the story was not different with other South East states.
It called FC numbers in the ongoing 2025 recruitment exercise to fill their quotas.
The Army made the call in Enugu during an enlightenment town hall meeting with Local Government Council Chairmen, traditional rulers, Presidents-General of town unions, and other community and thought leaders at the weekend.
Leader of the 2025 Army Recruitment Enlightenment Team, Brigadier-General Chima Ekeator, said, “Our people are losing what rightly belongs to them. Each year, whenever a slot is being allocated to our people, we keep noticing that the number of applicants from our side is usually very poor.
“Take for example, Enugu State was given about 200 slots, but the people who made it were never up to 100 due to poor application.  This has also become a recurring decimal in other states in the South East.
“Today’s statistics on the number of applicants show that Kaduna has about 3,000 applicants, while Enugu is still battling with about a hundred; and by the time we will be through with screening, you will not have enough to recruit from the state.”
He refuted the allegation that people of South East origin were being killed in their numbers in the Army because they were the first to be sent to the battle fronts. He added that the region was also holding strategic positions in the Army presently.
“There are a lot of falsehoods out there stating that the Igbo are being killed because they are the first to be sent to the battlefield. These things are not true. After all, we that are here have risen high in the Army and we are telling you that they are lies. Today in the Nigerian Army, our brother is one of the top commanders in charge of equipment. His name is Chibueze Ogbuabor,” he said.
Speaking, the Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Barr. Lloyd Ekweremadu, regretted that the problem had persisted despite the collective efforts to reverse the trend and called for a review of modes of advertising the opportunities and the need to provide more details about the benefits of serving in the Army.
“While seated here, I was just trying to conduct a very quick research and it appears this same problem is happening worldwide and militaries across the world are deploying more cutting-edge strategies for recruitment because we are talking about the new generation that you communicate in a different way from the past,” he stated.
He reiterated Governor Peter Mbah’s commitment to ensuring that the state filled its quota, describing the military as a noble and highly respected profession across the world.
On his part, the Chairman of the Enugu State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Hon. Okechukwu Edeh, pledged even stronger cooperation of the Local Government Council, but called on the military high command to equally address any concerns of the people to make the service more appealing to the youths.
Also speaking, the State Coordinator, Presidents-General of Enugu State Town Unions, Hon. Arinze Ogbodo; former Chairman, Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council, Ambassador Lawrence Agubuzu and the traditional ruler of Nomeh Unataeze, Lieutenant Colonel Israel Mbah (rtd.), called on the youths to enlist in the Army, but stressed the need for more enlightenment.
“I was a military man before. I survived every war. I did mine and today I am a traditional ruler. So, I believe that our young people should join the force,” Mbah stated.
Soludo’s Town-Halls and the All-Embracing Vote of Confidence  

Soludo's town halls and the all-embracing vote of confidence | TheCable
Approval rating is of pivotal importance in the re-election of an incumbent. Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, is enjoying an unprecedented universal approval rating as per the coming Anambra State gubernatorial election, billed for November 8, 2025.  Soludo’s stellar scorecard puts him out of sight ahead of any intending contender as the vote of confidence of Ndi Anambra across the globe has guaranteed.
The crème de la crème of Ndi Anambra within and outside the state have been reviewing the scorecard of Governor Soludo and have unanimously returned a resounding vote of confidence. It’s indeed remarkable that the principal figures in the opposition parties are not left out in the endorsement of the re-election of Governor Soludo. A typical example is the former Governor of Anambra State, former Senator and former Minister, Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige, who, in our local parlance, told Governor Soludo at the Abuja town-hall meeting: “Carry go!”
Dr. Ngige revealed that he had been begged by the remaining minuscule number of APC faithful in Anambra State not to endorse Governor Soludo. The irrepressible Dr. Ngige addressed Governor Soludo pointedly at the Abuja town-hall meeting by saying that he had gone to Anambra to see things for himself, thusly: “I came. I saw. But I did not conquer. I confirmed. Odenigbo, carry go!”
Before the Lagos and Abuja town-hall meetings where Governor Soludo went to present his scorecard to his people, pending the loading London town-hall meeting as well – there was an avalanche of endorsements by a wide range of organisations, from students, youths and scores of support groups.
This is beyond politics, as even students were among groups contributing money to persuade Governor Soludo to purchase the nomination form and contest the November election. The progressive governor, in tandem with the people’s will, graciously accepted to run, given the vote of confidence pouring in from all sides. It’s not in the constitution of Mr. Governor not to answer the call of the people.
The Lagos town-hall meeting came a day after the esteemed Vanguard Newspaper honoured Governor Soludo as the Vanguard Governor of the Year for Good Governance. The Lagos town-hall was a bang as the Habour Point Marquee Event Centre that got filled kept erupting intermittently with rapturous applauses as the gathered personages watched the 30-minute documentary. There was further uplifting exultation as Soludo took to the stage to talk about his stewardship in the last three years.
The following day, Sunday, the tireless Governor Soludo, who had been nicknamed “Ọlụatụegwu”, to wit, “One who is not afraid of duty”, was in Abuja, at the Bolton White Event Centre, for the Abuja version. Like in Lagos, Abuja was equally well-attended by Ndi Anambra who-is-who resident in the federal capital city. At the end of it all, the outcome matched that of Lagos, if not surpassing it, especially with the crowning glory of the endorsements of even opposition figures, including APC chieftains.
I recall a female commissioner asking us to rate the Lagos and Abuja town-halls and determine which was greater. It was quite a difficult task as most of us could not agree. Both were epochal indeed, but differing in their uniqueness: Lagos town-hall was massively attended by the business class and captains of industry, while Abuja town-hall was mainly attended by the political class.
With Abuja and Lagos adding their voices to the endorsement galore – and that of the UK positively loading – Governor Soludo’s re-election stays quite certain. It can be safely deduced that there is no coherent and viable opposition for Governor Soludo in Anambra State, as had been earlier stated by the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, who, like Dr. Ngige, is a prominent APC leader.
Ndi Anambra at home and abroad are telling the opposition candidates seeking to take over the government in Anambra to tarry till 2029. With their resounding vote of confidence on the performing Solution Government of Governor Soludo, Anambra people have handed a fresh mandate in advance, to be validated on November 8.
The vote of confidence from home and abroad is a clear way of saying again and again: there is no vacancy in Awka Government House.  However, there is still history to be made in this November 8 guber election if the feeble contenders and pretenders step down for Soludo to run unopposed.
Governor Soludo grandly deserves his occupation of Obi-Ndi-Anambra, the Government House and Lodge he built to break a 34-year-old jinx. So, if the guber runners decide to go the whole hog with Prof Soludo, the performing governor should also go the entire length: win in the 5700 polling units, 326 wards and in the entire 21 local governments. It is within reach.
A word, they say, is enough for the wise, for as the Americans say, if it is not broken, why mend it?

It will also assist the security agencies to stay ahead of criminal threats and reinforce public confidence, as well as ensuring the continued safety and security of all residents. The security forces are now more motivated, as the operation will give them a more coordinated approach to reclaiming the public space.
“It will also serve as a daily brief to always restrategize as the operation unfolds. We have a joint security information room for Anambra residents to report any suspicious activity. The numbers are: police – 07039194332, NDLEA – 09136832679, NSDC – 08066769442, FRSC – 122, Anambra State Vigilantes – 511 and 122, and Others we shall provide as the Operations commence,” he said.
The CP appealed to Anambra residents to support the success of “Operation Udo Ga-AChi” by volunteering information.
 He emphasized that public cooperation would be crucial in ensuring a peaceful and crime-free Easter celebration, even as he warned that any security personnel found wanting in their duties would face disciplinary action.
Th CP further appreciated the state government and some generous Ndị Anambra for repairing some of their operational vehicles and armoured personnel carriers.

Ondo Exploring Opportunities To Leverage Pension Funds For Infrastructural Development — Gov Aiyedatiwa

 

 

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has said that Ondo State is exploring opportunities to leverage pension funds for infrastructural development in the state. The Governor made the revelation on Tuesday, 15 April 2025 when he received a delegation from the National Pension Commission (PenCom) led by the Director General, Ms. Omolola Oloworaran in Akure.

 

PenCom delegation visited the Governor to discuss critical pension reforms aimed at improving welfare for retirees and ensuring compliance with the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).

 

Speaking during the visit, Governor Aiyedatiwa extolled the critical role of pension funds in economic development and commended PenCom for its proactive engagement. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the full implementation of the CPS in Ondo State.

 

The Ondo State Pension Commission (OSPEC) scored 72.44% in state pension compliance during the last Routine Inspection carried out by PenCom. The Governor expressed his aspiration to improve the State’s pension compliance rating from its current composite score of 72.44% to 95% by the next Inspection as challenged by the PenCom DG.

 

Also speaking, the PenCom DG proposed key amendments to the Ondo State Pension Law, including the introduction of a Minimum Pension Guarantee (MPG) to support indigent contributors and an Irrevocable Standing Payment Order (ISPO) to ensure consistent remittances by successive administrations.

 

Ms. Oloworaran also advocated for the integration of a Pension Compliance Certificate (PCC) as a mandatory requirement for business licensing, registration renewals, and contract awards within the State. This measure aims to enhance compliance and accountability in pension remittances by employers.

Insecurity: Flush Out Bad Eggs Among You – Mefor Tells Anambra Nonindeges 

Insecurity: Flush Out Bad Eggs Among You - Mefor Tells Anambra  Non-indigenes - New National Star
Anambra State Government has called on nonindeges to help curb insecurity in the state by flushing out the bad eggs among them.
The state’s Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, made the call while addressing members of the Association of Non Indigenes Welfare in Anambra State (ANISA-ANIAS), who paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Awka, recently.
The commissioner, who observed that non-indegenes have contributed meaningfully to the growth of the state, noted that they have equally benefited from Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s inclusive governance in various areas, including security, employment, infrastructure, healthcare, education and youth empowerment, among others.
He however, explained that available data show that majority of the criminals apprehended in the state are nonindigenes, urging members of the association to do their best in supporting Governor  Soludo’s security interventions to rid the state of criminals in order to redeem their image.
“The issue security is very important. Put it in your agenda. I am telling you that available data is showing that the majority of the criminals we got are nonindigenes. They are spoiling the names of those of you doing genuine businesses.
“We have to come together, work together with the Governor to ensure that the bad eggs leave or change their ways. We have the 1Youth 2Skills and the Solution Innovation District (SID). The Governor has trained more than 30,000 people, settled and empowered them. Any of them that wants something to do should come. I can use my office to place him somewhere in SID. Criminality is bad,” he said.
Mefor further assured that the ministry is willing to partner with them in promoting the good works of the government.
In their separate speeches, the President General, ANISA-ANIAS, Chief Ikechukwu Ugwuoke, and the traditional leader of Non-Indegenes Welfare in Anambra State, Igwe Amos Nkwuda, said the visit was to commend and allign themselves with the visionary leadership of Governor Soludo and also felicitate the commissioner on his 60th birthday, even as they pledged their support to the Governor’s re-election bid.
Youths’ Early Adoption of Insurance, Digital Payments, Investment Builds Financial Future

In today’s rapidly evolving economic landscape, the pivotal role of youth in shaping the future of financial systems cannot be overstated. At the 2025 Finance and Business Online Publishers Association (FiBOP) Youth Capacity and Empowerment Programme held Tuesday April 15, 2025 in Lagos, industry experts from the Insurance, Telecommunication, and Banking sectors convened to address the pressing need for early engagement of young individuals in essential financial practices.

While making opening remarks at the event which took place at Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos with the theme  “Empowering Nigerian Youths with Knowledge of Insurance, Digital Payment and Investment To Drive Financial Inclusion,” FiBOB President, Charles Onwuatogwu, highlighted the rationale behind the programme.

The theme of this program, he said, was painstakingly chosen to address the knowledge gap in insurance and digital payment in Nigeria.

“As the financial sector becomes more dynamic, a better understanding of the sector will aid speedy growth and development, particularly insurance, which, despite its importance, is grossly misunderstood; hence the need to expose the youths to the basic elements of playing in this field early in life.

“The importance of digital innovation in fostering a better understanding of insurance and its transformative power cannot be overemphasised.

“As we gather to discuss financial inclusion, via harnessing insurance, digital payment and investment, I urge you, our esteemed participants, to pay rapt attention to the lectures to follow the speakers,” Mr. Onwuatogwu said.

She explained the basic terms in insurance, such as Policy, Coverage, Claim,  Beneficiary and Premium.

Policy: A contract between the insured (you) and the insurance company, outlining the terms and conditions of coverage.

Claim: A request made to the insurance company for payment or compensation when a covered event occurs (e.g., accident, illness).

Beneficiary: The person or entity designated to receive the insurance payout in the event of a claim (often applicable to life insurance).

The Premium: The amount of money paid to an insurance company to maintain protection provided by the insurance policy, specifying what is included and excluded from the policy.

Mijisola listed types of insurance to include Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Vehicle Insurance, Educational Insurance as well as Home Insurance, noting that each type of insurance serves a specific purpose, helping individuals and families manage risk and financial uncertainty.

Life Insurance: Provides financial protection for loved ones in the event of the policyholder’s death, often including a payout to beneficiaries.

Health Insurance: Covers medical expenses incurred due to illness, injury, or disease, helping policyholders manage healthcare costs.

On Digital Payment, she described it as the future of money, noting that it is the process of paying or receiving money using phones, cards, or computers—no cash needed.

Presentation of Certificate of Recognition to the representative of Anchor Insurance MD/CEO, Dr. Augustine Ebose Osegha, as Finance and Business Online Publisher Association (FiBOP) Insurance Personality of the Year 2025 by the Rector of the College of Insurance and Financial Management (CIFM), Dr (Mrs) Chizoba Ehiogu at Fibop’s 2025 youth capacity building and empowerment program held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos.

Mojisola listed some common digital payment methods as Mobile wallets (e.g., Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal), Bank apps, Debit/Credit Cards and Quick Response (QR) Codes & Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in some countries.

Speaking on Investment, she said it is putting money into something to earn more over time.

According to her, types of investments include Savings Accounts, Fixed Deposits, Insurance, Mutual Funds, Stocks, and Cryptocurrency, which she said is highly risky.

Underscoring the importance of insurance, digital payments, and investment, Mojisola noted that “Insurance protects your life and assets. Digital payments are the new normal…Investments are for your future….”
