With declining interest in military careers among Lagosians, especially in the Epe federal constituency, kakalistiq.com reports that a powerful initiative is set to reignite enthusiasm and awareness. The Office of Rep. Wale Raji, in partnership with renown philanthropist, the publisher of Eko Hot Blog and Kakalistiq Media publisher’s former Boss, Otunba TJ Abass is spearheading a dynamic military career sensitization program, aimed at reconnecting young residents of Epe Federal Constituency with the opportunities and honor a career in the armed forces provides.
This event, scheduled for Friday, November 1, 2024, at Epe Local Government Council Chambers in Ita-Marun, promises a wealth of insights from the Commandant of the Nigerian Army Cantonment, Epe, Lt. Col. CU Okereke for aspiring military professionals.
Distinguished guests speakers, including the Lagos State Government Secretary Barr. Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin and His Royal Majesty Oba Dr. Olukayode Olufolarin Ogunsanwo, the Alara of Ilara Kingdom and other notable traditional and community leaders will be on hand to bolster community support and encourage youth participation.
In a series of engaging talks, experienced military professionals will share firsthand accounts of life in service, shedding light on the personal growth, stability, and pride a military career can offer.
By directly addressing common misconceptions, the event aims to reshape perceptions, presenting the military not only as a viable path but as a source of community pride and personal fulfillment.
The program is backed by a robust support structure designed to foster a welcoming environment for potential recruits. Attendees will have access to mentorship, guidance, and potential incentives that underscore the military’s role as a respectable and rewarding career path. Community leaders, parents, and educators are all invited to participate in this community-focused initiative, ensuring Epe’s youth have the encouragement and support they need to explore a future in the military.
Through the media and strategic outreach, the event aims to reach a broad audience, building a renewed commitment to military service within Epe federal constituency and, ultimately, across Lagos.
