Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) - Oyebade disclosed this on Thursday when members of the Kaduna State Council of the National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) paid him a courtesy visit.
He said that due to the limited admission slots, the management of the academy had always tried to ensure that only the best candidates were admitted.
The commandant said the institution would not deliberately refuse to give admission to any qualified candidate who had passed the entrance examination.
He reiterated the commitment of the academy to continue to partner with the media, especially members of the association in peace building.
The Chairperson of the council, Mrs Juliet Oyoyo, said that many youths interested in seeking admission into the NDA did not have the opportunity.
Oyoyo appealed to the commandant to look into the matter with a view to giving youth who applied for admission into the academy the opportunity to contribute their quota to the development of the country.
According to her, the purpose of the visit was to seek for the support of the institution for the council’s forthcoming Peace Workshop scheduled hold on May 30 in Kaduna. (NAN)
