The Commander Training and Doctrine Command, Nigerian Army (TRADOC), Maj.-Gen. Kevin Aligbe, has reiterated that the army has zero tolerance for examination malpractices.

Aligbe, who is the Examination President for the 2023 ongoing Captain to Major Practical Promotion Examination (CMPPE), said this while addressing candidates in Abeokuta, Ogun State, the venue of the examination, on Monday, October 16.

The commander warned the candidates to shun any form of sharp practices, adding that the consequences of such offences are heavy sanctions.

He stated that the examination is a major qualifying pre-requisite for their enrolment into the Junior Staff Course at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) Jaji, Nigeria, and allied institutions in other countries.

Aligbe said the examination is also aimed at testing the proficiency of the officers while developing their leadership capacities for higher responsibilities in the Nigerian Army.
