Two officer cadets from the Nigerian Defence Academy have been selected to attend the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Royal Air Force College Cranwell, respectively in the United Kingdom.
This was disclosed in a statement posted on the NDA X (formally Twitter) account on Tuesday.
At a farewell breakfast held in honour of the cadets, the NDA Commandant, Major General JO Ochai, urged the two officer cadets to be good ambassadors of Nigeria and encouraged them to build on the high standards that earned them recognition and made Nigeria proud.
The statement reads, “The cadets, members of the 72 Regular Course from the Departments of Geography and Biology, were selected for their exceptional performance and leadership potential.
“The farewell event was attended by top officials, including the Deputy Commandant, Academy Provost, Principal Staff Officers, Chief Instructors, Academy Adjutant, and Commanding Officers.
“As they embark on this prestigious training, the NDA is confident that these officer cadets will excel and represent Nigeria with distinction.”
