We want to reduce sentiments and mediocrity to the barest minimum and you will see this attitude in everything we do”, he noted.


The first test for the selection of Divisional Commanders is scheduled for Thursday, June 24, 2021, and will involve incumbent Divisional Commanders and Officers on level 10, while that of the Corps Superintendents will come up next week.
