UTME: Basic Requirement For Admission Into NDA — Spokesman

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has said the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) is a basic requirement for
admission into the academy.

A statement by Maj. Bashir Jajira, the NDA Public Relations
Officer, on Saturday in Kaduna, said the attention of the academy
had been drawn to fake news speculating the suspension of UTME for
the incoming members of 73 Regular Course.

“The academy wishes to inform the general public that UTME is
one of the basic requirements for entry into the academy.

“All interested applicants into the academy must have passed the
UTME and attained an acceptable minimum national standard as
determined by JAMB annual policy meeting before gaining entry into
the 73 Regular Course.

“The general public is advised to disregard any information
circulating on the social media purporting the suspension of JAMB
for 73 Regular Course.

“The information, which is false, has no link with the NDA and
is capable of disqualifying interested applicants from gaining
entry into the academy.

“The academy wishes to reiterate that all activities relating to
admissions into the NDA are duly publicised on its official
website: www.nda.edu.ng and in some national dailies. (NAN)
