“It is, therefore, important that you approach it with the seriousness and determination that will produce the best result.
“I would like to emphasize that your performance in this examination is a key determinant of your progress in the Nigerian Army.
“So, the examination is not just a mere assessment but a test of your present level of proficiency as well as your capability to undertake higher responsibilities that may be assigned to you now and in the future.
“Therefore, there should be no excuse for failure, and I expect nothing short of a 100 percent pass in this examination,” he said.
In his welcome address, the General Officer Commanding, 2 Division, Maj. Gen. Obinna Onubogu, expressed appreciation to the Nigerian Army headquarters for selecting the division to host the 2024 CMPPE.
Onubogu said the division had put in place adequate administrative and logistical arrangements, as well as security measures, during the examinations.
“Accordingly, the importance of this examination in building the capacity of junior leadership to achieve national security objectives cannot be overemphasised.
“It is important to state that the security situation in Akure town is relatively peaceful but unpredictable. Therefore, you are advised to be security conscious and cautious about where you go.
“The disclosure of information on the movement of participants and other actions that could compromise the security of personnel should be avoided,” he said.
