The Nigerian Defence Academy has opened its online application process for the 78 Regular Course, with registration beginning on Friday, November 28, 2025, and ending on April 30, 2026.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Academy Registrar confirmed that the application is available to eligible male and female Nigerians.
The announcement stated that interested applicants should visit the application portal at www.ndaapplications.net to obtain an access code and complete their registration.
The Academy said, “Candidates should log on to the application portal, select ‘Purchase Access Code’ and fill in their details to pay for their application via REMITA after first obtaining their Order ID and REMITA Retrieval Reference (RRR) Code in the sum of N7,000.”
Applicants were reminded to ensure they follow the official payment process.
The statement emphasised that “Please note that only payment against RRR Codes generated via the application portal would be accepted.”
The Academy also encouraged prospective candidates to thoroughly review all instructions before proceeding. “Visit the link for more details. Please read carefully and follow the instructions,” it added.
It was earlier reported in August that the Nigerian Defence Academy cautioned the public to ignore a fraudulent list claiming to show successful and reserve candidates for the Armed Forces Selection Board 2025. According to a statement from the academy’s Public Relations Officer, Maj. Mohammed Maidawa, the list did not originate from the NDA.
