The British Army has launched a new recruitment drive aimed at Nigerians and other Commonwealth citizens, inviting applications for various roles within its armed forces.
The recruitment period runs from August 19, 2024, to August 26, 2024.
Nigerian applicants are sought for positions including musicians, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Royal Engineers Technicians, tradesmen, and paratroopers.
The British Army has highlighted the vital role of Commonwealth soldiers in its ranks and their ongoing significance to the organisation.
Applications must be linked to the Recruit Bounty Referral Scheme, with the exception of those applying as musicians.
Candidates will need to undergo several fitness tests, including the multistage fitness test (beep test), seated ball throw, and mid-thigh pull.
The British Army advises applicants to quit smoking and maintain a balanced diet in preparation.
Successful candidates will be required to travel to the UK for further assessment in October and November 2024. Basic training is set to begin between January and March 2025.
