The Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti has promised to assist in orienting Abia youths for recruitment into the Nigerian Army.
This is coming after the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) called on Igbo youths to shun recruitment and rather opt for farming.
IPOB claimed that Igbo recruits are often sent into deadly conflict zones with Boko Haram in the North due to what it describes as “ethnic prejudice” within the Army.
