NDA postpones 77 regular course screening test over UTME clash

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has rescheduled the screening test for candidates seeking admission into its 77 Regular Course, which was initially slated for May 24.

According to a statement issued in Kaduna by the Academy’s Public Relations Officer, Major Mohammad Maidawa, the change in date follows a recent announcement by the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) board, indicating that some candidates across the country will be required to retake their exams on the same day.

“In view of this development, the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) wishes to inform the general public and all applicants to the 77 Regular Course that the NDA Screening Test earlier scheduled for Saturday May. 24, has been postponed,” Maidawa stated.

“This decision is consequent upon the NDA’s respect for equal opportunity and to avoid disenfranchisement of any candidate.

“A new date for the screening test will be announced in due course.
“The NDA remains dedicated to upholding the integrity of the admissions process and ensuring that each candidate is given a fair opportunity,” he added.

Maidawa advised applicants and the public to stay informed by monitoring the NDA’s official social media platforms and website for subsequent updates.

“We are committed to keeping you informed with new information as it becomes available,” he said.
