The Nigerian Defence Academy has fixed this Friday, November 28, 2025, for the opening of its online application portal for admission into the 78 Regular Course. The application window will run until April 30, 2026, according to a statement released on Wednesday by the Academy Registrar.
The Academy said the opportunity is open to qualified male and female Nigerians who meet the required standards.
In the statement, the NDA directed all applicants to visit www.ndaapplications.net to purchase an access code and complete their registration.
“Candidates should log on to the application portal, select ‘Purchase Access Code’ and fill in their details to pay for their application via REMITA after first obtaining their Order ID and REMITA Retrieval Reference (RRR) Code in the sum of N7,000,” the statement said.
The Academy emphasised that only payments made through the official channel will be accepted.
“Please note that only payment against RRR Codes generated via the application portal would be accepted,” the Academy warned.
Applicants were also advised to study the instructions carefully before proceeding.
“Visit the link for more details. Please read carefully and follow the instructions,” the statement added.
The announcement comes a few months after the Academy cautioned the public in August to ignore a fake list of successful and reserve candidates for the Armed Forces Selection Board 2025. That warning was issued in Kaduna by the NDA’s Public Relations Officer, Maj. Mohammed Maidawa, who described the circulated list as entirely false.
