We are still training female cadets- Defence Headquaters

Ebun Francis || The Nigeria Defence Academy(NDA), defence headquarters on Tuesday refuted reports in the media that it has stopped training female cadets.

The Director of defence information, Major-general John Enechie in a statement, described the report as ''disinformation to the general public by mischevious people.''
The statement read, “The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to a news being spread in the print and online Media about the stoppage of training female cadets in order to be commissioned as Regular Combatant officers into the Armed Forces of Nigeria. This is an act of disinformation to the general public by mischievous individuals. The contents of all those publications are ill intended concoctions, not authentic and  should, therefore, be disregarded outrightly.
“Extantly, the provision in the terms and conditions of service for female officers of the Nigerian Military is that ‘They are eligible for all the types of Commission that are grantable to their male counterparts’, which has not changed.
“This is for tile information of the general public and female Nigerians in particular.”
