The affected applicants alleged that the portal was opened for only a short period before it became unavailable, preventing them from generating Remita Retrieval References (RRRs), making required payments, or completing the registration process.

Some prospective candidates seeking admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) have expressed frustration after the institution's admission portal reportedly became inaccessible shortly after opening, leaving many unable to complete their registration for the 78th Regular Course.

The affected applicants alleged that the portal was opened for only a short period before it became unavailable, preventing them from generating Remita Retrieval References (RRRs), making required payments, or completing the registration process.

The development has sparked concerns among candidates and parents, many of whom said they had been waiting for the application portal to open and were caught off guard by what they described as a lack of adequate notice and technical difficulties.

The NDA had earlier announced that applications for its 78th Regular Course would be processed through its official admission portal, with applicants required to generate RRRs, make payments and complete online registration through the platform.
