Defence Academy Disclaims Fake Recruitment Letter, Warns Against Fraudsters

The attention of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has been drawn to fraudulent letters currently in circulation, purportedly signed by the Academy Registrar, offering admission into the NDA 77 Regular Course (RC).

The NDA wishes to state unequivocally that the letter circulating is not only fake but obviously the antics of fraudsters, whose sole intention is to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

Members of the public are hereby informed that the approved admission list of successful candidates and reserves for 77 RC were published in the Daily Trust and Daily Sun newspapers of 19 August 2025, and on the NDA’s official website: www.nda.edu.ng. Successful candidates of the 77 RC had since resumed and its admission process has been concluded.

Consequently, the general public is strongly advised to disregard any letter or message claiming to offer admission into NDA. It is most instructive to always verify admission information from the Office of the Academy Registrar, [email protected].
