“Just last Saturday, 1,008 ordinary sailors graduated from the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School (NNBTS) in Onne, Rivers after six months of rigorous military training,” he said.
Ayo-Vaughan said that recruitments of personnel into the service were being carried out based on available resources and infrastructure.
He said that the recruitment was being handled expertly to ensure that people who served jail terms and those with questionable character were not recruited into the navy.
According to him, physical, medical, academic, and mental checks among other tests are also carried out to ensure only the best are recruited.
Ayo-Vaughan said applicants with school certificates must be between the age of 18 and 22 by January 2023, while those with higher qualifications must be between the age of 18 and 26.
The minimum age requirement for application is 18 and the maximum age is 35.
The minimum height for male applicants is 1.69 while the female is 1.65.
The academic qualifications for the 2022/2023 Nigerian Navy recruitment are SSCE, NECO, and NABTEB with 5 Credits including Maths and English.
