Highlight of the HTACOS is that it has effectively scrapped the years of service of 35 years of service and fully embraced the age on rank bracket to enable the Armed Forces to continue to tap from the experiences of its officers as is done in the Armed Forces of such nations as India, Britain and United States, well beyond the present retirement rules. This means that as long as officers and men of the Nigerian military pass the necessary promotion board examinations, they would not be retired just because they have served 35 years. But that will now depend on their Run Out Date (ROD).

But effectively, the HTACOS starts with the 36th Course and their equivalents and above. The 36th Course members were the first set to start full degree programmes at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA). Before then, Courses 1 to 35 studied and graduated with the National Certificate in Education (NCE) from the NDA.

Under the new HTACOS, RODs were extended. Now, the ROD for Regular Commissioned Officers under the HTACOS for Lieutenant or its equivalent in the Navy and Air Force is 39 years, Captain or its equivalent- 46, Major or its equivalent - 50, Lieutenant Colonel or its equivalent - 53, Colonel or its equivalent - 54, Brigadier-General or its equivalent - 56, Major- General or its equivalent - 57, Lieutenant-General or its equivalent - 59 and General or its equivalent remains 60. An officer holding a substantive rank will be retired on reaching the age indicated for that rank.

In addition to having the retirement age to be beyond 35 years in service, Brigadier-Generals and their equivalents will be entitled to have in retirement the services of an orderly, driver and a steward, unless such officer specifically opts out of such arrangement. The number of such personal staff is expectedly higher for Major Generals and their equivalents.

Pls, I would like to know for sure the position of things. Are we already successful but going on final selection via this interview to pick the best to be at the Villa, or is this interview another step before final list of winners is to be made. Thank you.

sarajevo: my letter of attestation of good character and local govt of origin was written and signed by my local govt chairman all in one letter headed paper. my question is, is it still necessary for him to sign the NAF printed LGA attestation form?

ps. I am asking this because i got the letter ready before even printing the one from NAF website.

Please note the following:

1. There is no way your letter of attestation of good character and local govt of origin can be WRITTEN and signed by your local govt chairman ALL IN ONE LETTER HEADED PAPER.

2. Your L.G.A OF ORIGIN Document ought to be a CERTIFICATE not a letter.


3. The letter of attestation of good character yes can be written (Preferably though TYPED: It is a very formal letter and should be as formal as it can get) by your L.G.A Chairman.

4. NAF printed LGA attestation form can be signed by your L.G.A Chairman.

5. How ever, if he is the one to sign your attestation letter, then, someone ells should sign your NAF printed LGA attestation form the list of people that can do it are there.

6. Please not that his (your L.G.A chairman’s) signature on your L.G.A CERTIFICATE does not invalidate either your letter of attestation of good character or NAF printed LGA attestation form if you choose to give him or her either one of them. All CERTIFICATES of L.G.A of origins are usually signed by L.G.A Chairmen or Secretaries. Although I will be surprised if you say you don’t have L.G.A OF ORIGINS CERTIFICATE because am very sure you must have used it at one stage or the other in your school as part of admission documents or for something ells, that is if you schooled in Nigeria.

7. I just hope you are not confusing L.G.A OF ORIGINS CERTIFICATE (WHICH IS ACTUALLY A CERTIFICATE) with NAF printed LGA attestation form which is actually a form and can be attested to by “Chairmen/Secretaries, Magistrates, Principals of government secondary schools and a military officer not below the rank of Wing Commander or equivalent in the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Navy, and Police Officer of the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police and above, who hails from applicant's state of origin.” Take your pick. NO TIMEOOOOO!
Please take not of Highlighted words and Phrases.

Nnabugwu8590: Please house, in regard to the observed instruction which i think i have disobyed by using
The Commandant,
Nigerian Airforce,
305 Flying Training School,
Enugu.
What should i do.
Your advice is urgently needed.

The Chief of Air Staff
Through the officer in charge
Zonal Enlistment Exercise
Nigerian Air Force Base
Kawo – Kaduna.

Dear Sir,

LETTER OF ATTESTATION OF GOOD CHARACTER FOR MR. ABCN.

Mr. ……………………. is a graduate of …………………, where he had his…………... and an indigene of ....................................................................
I have Known his family since he was a child and was once his ………………………………… I know he is of good moral behaviour and ………………………………………………………………………………….

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

I mean there is no particular order. He/She can even go ahead and state where He/She is from, his position and how he knows you and in what capacity.He must signoooo! There is no time oooo! Bring it along with you to ur center. Make Photocopiesooooo!

nwaribe: So, what if I say "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" ?

I will suggest what I said earlier:

The officer in charge
Zonal Enlistment Exercise
Nigerian Air Force Base
Kawo – Kaduna.

2 letters. That is Mr. A will give you one letter of attestation of good xter, and Mr. B will also give you one letter of att. of good xter. Making 2 letters altogether.

Richheart: FOR ALL OF U SAYIN THE COMMANDANT THE THIS AND DAT....LISTEN CAREFULLY IN CASE U DIDNT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY.... IT SAID THE ATTESTATION LETTER OF GOOD CONDUCT SHUD BE ADDRESSED TO THE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF THE ZONAL ENLISTMENT EXERCISE... this is my humble submission... thankyou

"Additionally, applicants are to bring with them a letters of attestation of good character from Two (2) prominent persons from their state of origin to the officer in charge of the Zonal Enlistment Exercise."

No offense intended, but a letter of attestation of good character to be brought to the officer in charge of the Zonal Enlistment Exercise does not necessarily mean it is to be addressed to the officer in charge of the Zonal Enlistment Exercise (although it will not be out of place; that was what I did anyway). "By the way, there is no such thing as the Commandant, Nigerian Airforce bas Head Quarters, Abuja" as someone seems to be suggesting.

The Chief of Air Staff
Through the officer in charge
Zonal Enlistment Exercise
Nigerian Air Force Base
Kawo – Kaduna.

Or:
The officer in charge
Zonal Enlistment Exercise
Nigerian Air Force Base
Kawo – Kaduna.

mimzy007: You're wlc,I'll check out their rates over the weekend & give you feedback. Juri wats up with u?

@mimzy007, Pleas check their rates. Some one tolled me I can get an inn in places like Barnawa for 1k per night, but I don’t know how far it is to the base. On a general level, I got a text from NAF that the Enlistment has been shifted from 17-26 as we all know, but they did not say anything more.

Earliar on today the site said my application has been processed and regretted to inform me that I have not been shortlisted. Now it says “Dear *******, Your Application to the Nigerian Airforce is still pending for approval. Payment has been Received.Click on 'Get ApplicantID' link to get your Applicant ID”. What is really happening.?

mimzy007(f) Pls do you know the prices of hotels or guest houses around the Kawo areas of KD or any where close to it.

@Obizee316(m) walk to any magistrate court in Mina there. If you are from Niger state, there is no way some magistrates there will not be from Niger State.

Lets try and robe minds.

9fleet389: Pls mimiz, who are we addressing d letter to in d case of we dat we are writin in Akure barrack cos d barack is for Soldier nt airforce.

For all those asking how the letter is to be addressed:

The officer in charge
Zonal Enlistment Exercise
323 Artillery Regiment
Owena Barracks, Akure

Just fill in the necessary address applicable to you ( e.g Nigerian Air Force Base, Kawo – Kaduna, 305 Flying Training School, Enugu etc)

[quote author=obioma_2000]Had my interview today everythin went fine though some guys were invited for enrolment and registration officer though there were various job categories that came for the interview today!![/quote]did the interview end today and will there be more invits for interviews subsequently?.

Those who just went for interviews how far? Pls share the happenings.

The Senate yesterday endorsed the sack of 3,000 National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) workers & directed NIMC to reinstate 96 disengaged officials of the commission who have actually acquired the new minimum qualifications of HND and B.Sc as at the end of last year.

The lawmakers agreed that each disengaged person be paid one year salary as take-home severance allowance .The package will now stand at N621,953.00 as the lowest and N1,441,735.60 as the highest.The committee noted that some of the dismissed workers falsified their records. Others were dismissed for being absent from work for months.

The NIMC management, according to the committee, said that the number of disengaged officials was 3,099 in the first instance and not 4,099 as stated by the petitioners. The staff strength currently is 1,891.The committee said it found out that the Governing Board of NIMC approved HND and B.Sc as the new minimum entry level qualifications for the Commission.

Wao....I have read through some comments here, there is no need to get upset here. To dandutse01, whether u post or not is really up to u, but i believe u can still pass relevant info without compromising ur I.D because nobody knows who is who this is a public forum,exept of course if you give your no. or post ur picture (unlike what sieghs did earlier and some pple tried to correct him). To funom2004 what you did or attempt to do was not just wrong, but EXTREMELY evil. You simply could just worn him, but going to the extent of trying to make him reveal his I.D was way out of line no matter what. Telling u his L.G.A. would have narrowed the search for anybody monitoring the forum to pinpoint him and this was likely ur Goal? if so, then its WICKEDNESS.To Shiloh, pls dont get me wrong bcs i understand ur point of view, but what will be the essence of this forum if information cant be shared or past since after-all no body knows who is who, i mean u could as well be a MALE contrary to been a FEMALE as ur user name suggests. To Mowin, I respect ur opinion and share ur views on the issue 100% but I think ur language was kind of too harsh on SHILOH especially giving the circumstances that led "her" to give the advice SHE/HE/IT gave to dandutse01. PLS PLS AND PLS lets all try to respect each others opinion. Its just life. Ple will or may not always see things from ur perspective.
