The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, has set the stage for the enrolment of a new generation of officer cadets, announcing that online applications for its 78th Regular Course will commence tomorrow, Friday, 28 November 2025, and run until 30 April 2026.
In a statement released yesterday, the Academy Registrar confirmed that the admission window is open to qualified male and female Nigerians, reinforcing the institution’s long-standing commitment to grooming disciplined, service-ready leaders for the Armed Forces.
According to the statement, applicants are expected to access the dedicated portal, www.ndaapplications.net, where they must purchase an access code before proceeding with registration. The Academy emphasised a strict adherence to the official payment process, directing candidates to generate an Order ID and a REMITA Retrieval Reference (RRR) before making the mandatory N7,000 payment via REMITA.
“Only payments made against RRR Codes generated through the official application portal will be recognised,” the Academy cautioned, urging candidates to avoid third-party links and unofficial agents that have historically exploited unsuspecting applicants.
The NDA stressed the importance of carefully reviewing all instructions before submitting applications, noting that compliance remains a key requirement throughout the admission cycle.
