The President of the Examination Board, Maj.-Gen. Kelvin Aligbe, said the examination was a major prerequisite for officers to attend the Senior Staff Course at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji and other staff colleges overseas.
He warned the officers against any form of malpractice during the examination.
“I believe that while majority of you are on first attempt, others are attempting the examination for the second or third time.
“Let me assure you all that this is an examination you can pass without resorting to illegal or fraudulent means,” he said.
Aligbe, who is also the Commander, TRADOC, said members of the examination panel had been working in the past one week, putting together fair and acceptable requirements and solutions for the examination.
“The requirements are fair enough for any serious-minded candidate to tackle successfully.
“I will like to emphasise that your performance in this examination is a key determinant of your progress in the Nigerian Army.
“It is therefore important that you all put in the seriousness and determination that would produce the best result.”
He assured the candidate of the absolute integrity and understanding of members of the examination panel and Directing Staff.
“The serious minded and hardworking candidates amongst you have nothing to fear.
