Patriotic Nigerians who wish to be officers and serve and protect their country must first join the Nigerian Defence Academy where they get to learn all the necessary skills that help them out once they are in the field. However, before any of this happens, one of the very first steps is to enrol through the www.nda.edu.ng — NDA portal login and registration website.
What is the Nigerian Defence Academy?
The Nigerian Defence Academy was established on 5th February 1964. The need for this academy came about because, after its independence, Nigeria needed to train officers of the armed forces to defend the country.
Today, it boasts of being the best military academy where officers who graduate from there have the necessary skills, knowledge and values that every military officer is required to have.
How to register on the NDA portal
Everyone who wishes to join the defence academy must first express this desire by applying for the academy. This is done by going online to the NDA application portal and doing so. When an aspiring applicant goes to the official website that is www.nda.edu.ng under admissions, they will choose the cadet option, and this will direct them to a second website, the NDA application portal where they will find all the details they required for a cadet application. Here is what the NDA registration portal looks like.
