He stated that the recruitment would be in three phases.
According to the chairman of the agency, he said the outfit printed about 2,000 forms, out of which 1,647 people reported for the interview and they were screened. We engaged 360 of them.
“Our camping will start on August 15 at Wole Soyinka High School, Ejigbo. The candidates are expected to report to the camp on that day between 8am and 6pm.
“Any candidate that fails to turn up during the period will forfeit his chance. Our passing out will hold on September 4 after three weeks in camp. The candidates should come to camp with medical fitness report from a government hospital and other items such as white vests, blue shorts, cutleries etc.
