276 Army Officers To Sit For Senior Staff Course Qualifying Exams

A total of 276 Army officers are to sit for the 2019 qualifying examination for Senior Staff Course in the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji.
The Tide source reports that army officers must pass the examination before attending the senior staff course.
The examination is conducted by Nigerian Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and is expected to last for a week.
The Examination President and Commander of TRACDOC,   Maj.-Gen  Abubakar Tarfa, said while addressing the candidates yesterday at Jaji Military Cantonment in Kaduna State that the examinations was a key determinant to their progress in the Army.
“As you are aware, the SSCQE is a major prerequisite for you to attend the senior staff course at the AFCSC here in Jaji or any of the subscribed staff colleges overseas, hence the need for you to qualify requires no further emphasis.
“I believe that while majority of you are first attempters, others are attempting the examination for second and third time.
“The examination is an assessment of your present level of proficiency as well as determinant of your capabilities to undertake higher responsibilities that may be assigned to you in future,” Tarfa added.
The Examination President said that competent and dedicated members of the examination panel had put together “far and acceptable requirements and solutions for the examination.”
Tarfa therefore urged the officers to be serious and determined, so as to produce the best results.
