The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) opposes automatic admission for military school graduates, according to newsexpressngr.com. The proposed amendment seeks to alter Section 8(2) of the Second Schedule to the NDA Act by granting 'automatic admission, right of first refusal' to graduates of Nigerian military schools. Brigadier General Taiye Ahmed, Director of Military Training at the NDA, presented the academy’s position during a public hearing organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Defence. The NDA warned that granting automatic admission could exclude more qualified candidates and violate constitutional principles.
