ABUJA, NIGERIA (NPA) — 27 March 2026 — In a bold move to secure academic excellence, the Acting Corps Commander Education (CC Edn), Brigadier General Yushau Dogara Ahmed, has unveiled a sweeping nationwide initiative designed to turbocharge the performance of students in Command Secondary Schools ahead of critical external examinations.

The CC Edn directed schools across the country to roll out specialised academic workshops and intensive training sessions for teachers and Senior Secondary School Three (SS3) students. The programme targets improved teaching effectiveness and sharper student preparedness for examinations conducted by WAEC, NECO and JAMB.

According to a statement by Captain Abdullahi Lawal Osabo, Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, the initiative will feature targeted academic clinics, revision marathons and exam technique workshops, with a laser focus on core subjects. Experienced education officers and subject specialists will lead sessions, offering in-depth revision, practical guidance on tackling exam questions and strategies for effective time management.

The programme forms part of the Nigerian Army Education Corps’ (NAEC) broader mission to boost teachers’ instructional capacity while equipping students with the skills needed for outstanding results. The seven-day intensive training, scheduled for March and April 2026, underscores Brigadier General Ahmed’s determination to entrench academic excellence across the Command Secondary School system.

Officials say the initiative will further cement the reputation of Nigerian Army schools as bastions of discipline, scholastic achievement and holistic development, aligning with global best practices.
