Cross River confirms new date for NDA 78 Regular Course screening test

The Cross River State Government has officially released a new date for the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Screening Test for candidates from the state who applied for admission into the 78 Regular Course.

This was contained in a press statement issued on Tuesday and signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. A. Owan Enoh.

Enoh stated that the screening test which was originally scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, has been rescheduled to Saturday, June 20, 2026, and will commence by 7:AM.

The government explained that the change became necessary as the earlier date coincided with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) mop-up examination.

According to the statement, the adjustment is intended to allow candidates participating in both examinations to do so without any clash or inconvenience.

Candidates are advised that the screening test venue remains as previously communicated by the NDA through email and SMS notifications, or as indicated on its application portal at nda.edu.ng.

The state government urged all affected candidates to take note of the new date and make the necessary preparations ahead of the screening exercise.

It added that candidates can contact the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the state for further inquiry.
