The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has finally released that the 71 Regular Course screening test which was to be held on 13th of April, 2019 will now hold on Saturday, 8th of June, 2019.

This was released at the official website of the Academy on 23rd of May, 2019, by the Academy’s Public Relations Officer, Major Abubakar Abdullahi.

In the statement released, “candidates who duly applied to the Nigerian Defence Academy and successfully scored minimum of 180 (One Hundred and Eighty) in UTME are advised to visit application portal on the NDA website www.rcapplications.nda.edu.ng to select the examination centre of their choice and print out their examination card”.

The NDA PRO added that, “only those with duly printed Examination Card will be admitted into the various centres for the test.”

This final release of the Academy negated the earlier statement which went viral on social media, allegedly to have been released by the Academy Public Relations Department, fictitiously stating that the entrance examination will commence on May 14, 2019 and end May 23, 2019.

The Academy’s spokesperson thereby acknowledged the general public for the patience and usual cooperation, as the screening test will now hold on June 8, 2019, simultaneously across different centres nationwide.
