Candidates are further required to bring kits that will prepare and make their living and rest in the training period, including two white bedsheets and pillowcases, one blanket, which must be a grey or army green colour.
Like every other programme, candidates have been told to bring some pocket money and toiletries while buckets, cutlasses and brooms.
Mr Babafemi further stated that successful candidates must observe the coronavirus protocols, and must have two black cloth facemasks.
