Here’s What You Need to Know
Those who’ve made the cut can proudly see their names on the official NDA portal, www.nda.edu.ng. If you’re among this esteemed group, here’s a heartfelt congratulations! But with the joy of success comes the responsibility of next steps. Here’s a detailed rundown of what lies ahead.
Reporting Details
- Date: Ensure you mark Saturday, 26 August 2023 in your calendar. That’s when you’re expected at the NDA Ribadu Campus (old site), Kaduna.
- A Gentle Reminder: Cadets admitted to the NDA are students in the full sense. They’re not to be viewed as employees in training. Even if there’s a decision to withdraw or if one faces dismissal prior to their commission as an officer, they won’t be entitled to any claims related to employment with the institution or the Federal Government of Nigeria.
- Time is of the Essence: If by Monday, 28 August 2023, you don’t make an appearance, you might just lose your coveted spot. Both selected and reserve candidates are anticipated on the same day. Upon your arrival, you’d be welcomed at the reception centre housed within the Centre of Excellence Building, NDA Ribadu Campus.
