NDA matriculates 523 cadets from 76 regular course

The Nigerian Defence Academy on Monday matriculated 523 cadets of its 76 regular course in Kaduna.

Commandant of the NDA, John Ochai, urged the cadets to be serious with their academic and military training as they were complementary to each other.

Mr Ochai said the cadets would undergo five-year training with the academic programme culminating at the end of the fourth year. The commandant said the matriculation for the 76th regular course was profound.

He explained that the cadets began their academic careers in a period of reform in academic and military training with artificial intelligence and technology change.

“The cadets will have the privilege of undergoing academic and military programmes that would empower them to confront challenges that are facing not just the armed forces, but the nation in general in the future,” Mr Ochai said.

He warned them against indiscipline and activities that would portray the academy and the military in bad light.
