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, Kaduna State.

The News Agency of Nigeria is reporting that Army officers must pass the examination before attending the Senior Staff Course.

The examination is conducted by Nigerian Army Training and Doctrine Command and is expected to last for a week.

The Examination President and of Commander TRADOC, Major General Abubakar Tarfa, said while addressing the candidates on Sunday at Jaji Military Cantonment in Kaduna State that the examination is a key determinant to their progress in the Army.

Tarfa said: “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 oversees, 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.

The Examination President said 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.

He assured them of absolute integrity and understanding of members of the examination panel.

“There is no excuse for failure and I expect nothing short of 100 percent pass in this examination,” the commander said.

He however warned that the Army has zero tolerance for examination malpractice and reminded the candidates that Army headquarters policy allows a maximum of three attempts for each candidate to pass the examination.
