Chief of Training, Nigerian Army, Major General Abubakar Ndalolo, praised the Academy for molding young men and women from diverse backgrounds into disciplined and professional officers committed to defending Nigeria’s sovereignty. He further reminded the graduating cadets that the nation’s interests must always come first.


The event also featured the presentation of awards to outstanding cadets, as well as a symbolic bonfire to mark the end of the training year.
