“NDA Opens 78 Regular Course Admission Portal – How To Apply”

According to Ireporter Online, the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has officially opened its online application portal for admission into the 78 Regular Course, starting Friday, November 28, 2025, and closing on April 30, 2026. The Academy confirmed that the application process is open to qualified male and female Nigerian candidates.

Prospective applicants are required to access the NDA portal, purchase an access code, and complete registration. Payments must be made through Remita using an Order ID and Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code generated directly on the portal. The Academy has set the non-refundable application fee at ₦7,000.

The NDA issued a strict warning that only payments made via RRR codes generated on the official application portal will be accepted. Payments made using third-party or externally sourced RRR codes will be rejected. Applicants were urged to carefully follow all instructions to avoid invalid payments or disqualification.

The statement also reminded the public of a previous notice in August, in which the Academy discredited a fraudulent list of successful and reserve candidates for the 2025 Armed Forces Selection Board, emphasizing reliance only on official channels for information.
