He urged them to effectively utilise the opportunity, adding that army would always place premium on competence, character and good conduct in its career progression examinations, such as the SSCQE.
He commended the Commander Infantry Corps, Maj.-Gen. Victor Ezugwu, and officers of the corps for hosting another successful SSCQE in Jaji.
The Examination President and the Commander Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Maj.-Gen. Stevenson Olabanji, assured COAS that the 2021 examination would bring out the best from the officers.
