The Nigerian Defence Academy has published the list of candidates selected for admission into its 78th Regular Combatant Course.

The list contains both successful candidates and those placed on the reserve list following the Armed Forces Selection Board exercise conducted between July 4 and August 19, 2026.

According to the Academy, candidates who secured admission are required to report to the NDA Ribadu Campus (Old Site) in Kaduna on Saturday, September 12, 2026.

The institution warned that candidates who fail to resume by Monday, September 14, 2026, will lose their admission places.

The NDA stated that only candidates whose names appear on the admission list are expected to report to the Academy. Upon arrival, they will be received at the Drill Shed located within the NDA Old Site at Ribadu Cantonment.

The admission announcement was contained in a statement signed by the Academy Registrar, Brigadier General OA Ogunleye, and published through the Academy’s official social media platform.

Successful candidates are expected to complete the necessary admission requirements and present the original copies of their relevant credentials when reporting.

They are also required to accept their admission through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s Central Admission Processing System and upload their O’Level results on the JAMB portal.

Meanwhile, candidates whose names appear on the reserve list are not required to report immediately. They may be considered for admission if vacancies become available.

The latest announcement marks the conclusion of the selection process for the 78th Regular Combatant Course, paving the way for the successful candidates to commence their military academic training at the NDA.
