In his words, “the Female Squad which will compete favourably with their male counterparts in all ramifications will undergo three weeks (3) intensive and rigorous training as well as capacity building programmes in one of our Training Colleges after the successful ones scale through the preliminary tests of competence, experience, psychological evaluation and comprehensive medical examination to determine their fitness for the program.

Dr. Audi, stated that plan is underway to make the proposed female Squad combat ready and formidable as they will be specially trained for physical and tactical maneuvering especially for special intervention and operations which will in no small measure help to address some of our internal security challenges.

While assuring the candidates of his administration’s resolve to providing the necessary logistics and minimal comfort during the training, the Commandant-General tasked them to put in their best as this will go a long way in restoring the past glory of the Corps.
