The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, has ordered the promotion of Second [b]Lieutenant Oluchukwu Owowoh to the substantive rank of Lieutenant in the Nigerian Army.[/b]

The Nigerian Defence Academy disclosed this in a statement on social media on Wednesday.

The statement by the NDA on Wednesday partly read, “Speaking during the decoration ceremony that took place today, June 26, 2024, at the Nigerian Defence Academy Officer’s Mess and Golf Club, the NDA Commandant, Major General JO Ochai, extolled the track record of excellence of Lt. Owowoh as a cadet, which accorded her the rare privilege of becoming the first female Nigerian to be trained at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as well as her promotion to the new rank.
“The event was attended by senior military officers, academic and non-academic staff, and family members, among others.”

PUNCH Online reported in April that Owowoh, 24, made history when she became the first Nigerian female officer to graduate from the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, in the United Kingdom.
