AllAfrica reported that officers pursuing academic and professional programmes abroad participated remotely through ICT solutions.
The exercise began June 14 across the Corps' 12 Zonal Commands under Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed.
Surveillance cameras and representatives of the Corps Marshal supervised the process, while independent observers from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Federal Character Commission were deployed. A statement issued by Deputy Corps Commander Osondu Ohaeri said the remote option prevented eligible officers from being disadvantaged by geographical location or self-development commitments.
