About The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA)
The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) is a military academy in Kaduna, Nigeria that prepares officer cadets for commissioning into one of the Nigerian Armed Forces’ three services: the Army, the Navy, or the Air Force. Training at the Nigerian Defence Academy lasts five years (four academic years and one military year).
The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) was founded on February 5, 1964, in response to independent Nigeria’s defense demands, to train officers for the Nigerian Armed Forces. Previously, the college was known as the Royal Military Forces Training College (RMFTC). Following Nigeria’s independence in 1960, it was renamed the Nigerian Military Training College.
The Academy’s role is to provide each officer cadet with the information, abilities, and ideals required of a military officer through military, academic, and character development. In essence, the NDA is a training facility for selected young able-bodied men and women to become well-educated, courageous, virile, and erudite subalterns.
