The Academy disclosed this in a statement signed by its Registrar, Brigadier General O.A. Ogunleye, and published on its official X handle on Wednesday.
The statement followed the Armed Forces Selection Board exercise for the 78th Regular Course, which was conducted from July 4 to August 19, 2026.

It clarified that only candidates whose names appear on the selected list are expected to report to the Academy, where they will be received at the Drill Shed, NDA Old Site, Ribadu Cantonment.
Candidates on the reserve list, the Academy said, may be invited as vacancies arise through their registered email addresses and telephone numbers.
