The revision was announced during a military event held at the Depot Nigerian Army in Zaria, where senior officers said the updated training framework is designed to align with Nigeria’s evolving security challenges.

According to military authorities, the new curriculum places stronger emphasis on counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations, ensuring that newly recruited soldiers are better prepared for modern battlefield conditions.
