The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has fixed Monday, Aug. 26, for the resumption of new cadets of 76 Regular Combatant Course (RC).

The academy’s Public Relations Officer, Maj. Mohammed Maidawa made the announcement in a statement issued on Thursday in Kaduna.

Maidawa said there should be strict adherence to the resumption date.

He said, “NDA wishes to inform the public of an important update regarding the resumption date for the successful candidates admitted into the 76 Regular Combatant Course.

“In a previous notification, it was stated that the resumption dates for 76 RC were from August 24 to 26. The Academy would like to state that the reviewed resumption day is August 26.

“This is to allow the new cadets ample time to plan their journeys.”

Maidawa, therefore, said that all the successful candidates are expected to report to the NDA Ribadu Campus (Old Site) between the hours of 0900 and 1800 on Monday, August 26.

“Failure to report on the stated date will result in the immediate substitution of the candidate with a reserve candidate, “he said.

Maidawa said that only candidates with genuine reasons, supported by evidence, for their inability to report on the published date would be considered for admission.

“All other candidates who fail to report on Aug. 26 will forfeit their admission,” he said.
