This Faculty was newly introduced in 2020 Admission process

1. DEPARTMENT OF LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

2. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES.

This selecton is done according to Defence Headquarter instructons,

and each state is expected to have 50 successful candidates or more
than 50 for the interview. So the selecton is according to candidates's
departments in their various states.

Afer the shortlist has been published, candidates that partcipated in

the entrance examinaton are to check their names in the shortlisted
names of successful candidates for AFSB Interview. The names of
those in the list are the successful ones in the entrance examinaton,
which means they did very well in the entrance examinaton
answering about 65%-90% of the examinaton questons correctly .
Once you merit the chance to be selected for the interview, surely
your name shall be among the successful candidates in your state
shortlisted for the AFSB Interview because it is strictly on merit,
Academy needs the best among all afer the entrance examinaton.

There is one thing you should know about Armed Force Selecton
Board Interview. Once your names appear in the AFSB Interview list
that moment your military career journey starts, so anything you start
doing from that moment you should be extremely careful because
one thing can eliminate you from the interview once you resume for
it. This stage cares for life and death, this means that Armed Force
Selecton Board selects the ftest candidates that do not have any
medical or physical problem for admission this is done properly and
carefully, during the Medical stage of AFSB Interview due to the
nature of training in the Academy.

So many cadets die afer reportng for training, in which when

autopsy is done it will be medical problem either blood pressure
problem or the other. So Academy brought the idea that each
candidate must be medical diagnosed properly to make sure they see
if candidates are medically ft for the military Academy journey, those
who are not medically and physically ft will be sent home to avoid
unwanted death during the course of training, which many people
don't understand how it is been done. Nigerian Defence Academy is
very kind in selecton of their cadets from ftest AFSB Interview
candidates, if a candidate is not medically and physically ft, such
candidates will be told their problem in order for them to go and treat
themselves properly and reapply anytme they are medically and
physically ft for the journey this can only be done if you are stll
within the age limit which is usually from 17years to 21years at month
of September. You shouldn't be less 17years old or higher than
21years old not even with a day, if such should happen you will
defnitely be disqualifed during the interview that's immediately afer
the credental screening. Don't be surprised that one thing can
eliminate you if you are not very careful.

Most candidates are very arrogant, and would like to show

themselves when once they report for the interview, mind you AFSB
is nobody's father's personal business, but Military Government
organizaton, which means nobody can break the rules guiding the
organizaton not even generals. So Candidates are advised to respect
themselves, and also respect all the ofcials, military personnel or
civilian personnel they see around the premises, if only they want to
know peace in the AFSB Interview, immediately they resume for the
interview. Note Candidates military recording start immediately they
report for the AFSB interview and fnish their documentaton
screening.

DOCUMENTATION PROCESS
All candidates will be seated next to each other on the ground
according to their states, in this process, all the ofcials in charge of
this process will have the shortlisted list of successful candidates for
the AFSB Interview, in which each candidate will be asked to say his or

containing their chest number immediately they pick it and that's
they will contnue wearing it tll afer the interview because that's
their identty, afer that the ofcials will record each Candidate's chest

stage of the documentaton screening, another stage will be
introduced to every candidate who has fnished the frst and second
stages. The third stage is registraton, all candidates will be told to pay
a sum of two thousand fve hundred naria(N2,500) this money is to

Then Afer The Registraton, those through with all the

documentaton stages will be marched to the Drill Shed where
Credentals Screening and Assessment will take place that same day.

STAGE 2

CREDENTIAL SCREENING
Since all those candidates who have been matched to the Drill Shed
for credentals screening have fnished their documentatons, so then
all ofcials will now carry their NDA Files which has their postcard
photograph, names, chest numbers, Arm of service, courses, State
and Local government area on the fles, the fles will be moved to
another Ofcials in the Drill Shed mainly Military Ofcers highest rank

board commitee if you eventually scale through all the eliminaton
stages successfully. Few days afer the credental screening is done all
candidates will be assembled in the parade ground to call out those
who didn't meet up the requirements according their credentals,
thereafer all those who fail the credental screening will be
eliminated immediately afer the credentals Screening Result has
been called . So those found guilty with their Certfcates will be sent
back home. This is how the processes are, very difcult and simple if
only you do the right things at the right tme. Immediately afer the
credental screening the next stage is Medical screening.
STAGE THREE
MEDICAL SCREENING

Candidates call this stage ALMIGHTY REMOVAL, because this stage is

capable of romoving all the candidates in a state if they are not
medically and physically ft. In this stage there are alot of medical
tests that will be conducted on each and every candidate to avoid
carrying along candidates that have medical problems which may lead
to death in the during course of training in the Academy.

1.The B.P Test(Blood Pressure)

As show above in the picture on how blood pressure test is
being conducted on the candidates to know their BP status .
BP Is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, ofen
measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate
of the heartbeat and the diameter and elastcity of the arterial walls.

"heart failure is common in patents with high blood pressure" So

NDA wouldn't allow such thing to happen to any of their ofcer
cadets.

PROBLEMS OF BLOOD PRESSURE

Related problems of BP are ; High blood pressure and Low blood
pressure.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

High BP is a conditon in which the force of the blood against the

artery walls is too high.

Usually hypertension is defned as blood pressure above 140/90, and

is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120. But in this case,
NDA don't accept Candidates with BP range above 130/80 or below
110/80. They considered that to be high or low and which can not be
accepted by the Armed Force Selecton Board due to the nature of
training in the Academy. Most ofen this conditon can be caused by
fear and anxiety too due to the actvites candidates undwego in the
academy, so candidates are advised to remain calm whenever they
want to check their BP status, why some are genetcally hereditary.
Symptoms

Requires a medical diagnosis

High blood pressure ofen has no symptoms. Over tme, if untreated,

it can cause health conditons, such as heart disease and stroke. So
that's why every candidate needs to be diagnosed Before it will show.

Treatment consists of self care and diuretcs

Eatng a healthier diet with less salt, exercising regularly and taking
medicaton can help lower blood pressure.

Self-care

Physical exercise, Stress management, Quitng smoking, Home blood

pressure monitors, and Low sodium diet, eat banana, cucumber,
water melon, and moringa seeds.
2. Height And Weight

This is another simple stage but a Technical stage of the AFSB Medical
test. This is where all candidates's Height and Weight will be checked.
Candidates that fall short of this requirement will be disqualifed.
Alot of candidates were disqualifed also because of Height and
Weight. This Height and Weight is use to calculate your BMI(Body
Mass Index)
The minimum requirment of height for males is 1.68m while for
female is 1.55m.
3. Dental Test

This is the stage where Candidates's teeth will be examined to see if

there's any fault or problem in them and also to see if they are
properly Arranged. Your teeth will also be examined to know if they
are infected, as shown in the picture below
4. Eyes Test

This is the stage where candidates's Eyes will be tested to know if you
have any Eyes problem. They will be tested for Colour Blindness, long
sightedness And Short sightedness. Candidates should ensure they
read whatever leter they're asked to read very well. Candidates are
to call out loud the alphabet they see as instructed. Candidates are
expected not to allow fear to deprive their chance of passing that eyes
test, for any test they fail in this stage will be used to disqualify them
afer the Medical screening.

5. Physical Medical check up

In this stage candidates will be called to a room individually or in
group, here all the candidates who have been called into the
partcular room where medical practoners will be present to exam
each candidate's physical ftness, male candidates will face male
medical practoners where their tests will be checked if they are
complete, thesame process applicable to female candidates, in AFSB
Medical nothing is hidden, because anything you try to hide will be
revealed with medical facilites in the Academy.So AFSB Medical
screening test is 100% accurate. Other things will also be checked
properly such as fat foot, pile, For pile: candidates will have to open
their anus then bend down and cough very well, if your anus is
coming out while coughing then you have pile. They will also check for
Tatoos like those candidates that like fashion in case you all don't
know, if such should be found on your skin disqualifcaton is waitng
for you at the end of the medical, even a sttch can disqualify a
candidate, so Candidates have to be very careful the kind of actvity
they expose their body to, candidates's chest will also be measured, K
legs, and any surgical Scars or marks and other abnormality in your
body. If it is critcal you will be disqualifed immediately afer the
medical screening. This stage is one of the hardest and difcult stage
of AFSB Interview to scale through. Only the ftest will be selected
afer the medical screening.

6. Electrocardiograph(ECG)
In this very stage, some medical electrical wires will be placed on
candidates's chest as they lie down on a medical bed , place on the
surface part of their heart, it will also be placed on their legs and
hands. Then the machine will start reading their heart rates and the
pulses in their body. The essence of this test is to check if their heart
is functoning very well and if their breathing rate is absolutely
normal. This test is very critcal because the result is hardly tempered
with. Your godfather can't do anything here if you have any heart
problem so it is very advisable that candidates do the test before
going onward.

7 Blood And Urine Test

A smaple of candidates's blood and urine will be collected by NDA
Medical Laboratory Scientsts for laboratory test. The purpose of this,
is to check candidates's Blood group, Hepatts B, genotype, HIV
status, your sugar Level, if candidates are smokers, drug addicts and
any other Blood related diseases. This stage is also very vital and
critcal because candidates can't predict if their blood and urine is
completely pure and normal at that moment. So it is advisable for
candidates to be taking enough water every day to help eliminate
some minor problems in the body , when they urinate those dirtes in
the body can easily go out.

8. X-Ray
This is the stage where Candidates's chest and bone will be examined
in order to see if their bones are in good structure and also their
thoracic region which makes up the chest is in proper shape.
Candidates will be told to Breath in very well for the X-rays machine
to capture their thoracic region very well and then breath out afer
the capture. This the fnal stage of the medical, following the
announcement of the results few days afer. Successful Candidates at
medical screening those who are medically and physically ft will be
called out on that day of judgement. Many Candidates will leave the
AFSB Interview premises that day, about 70% or even more than of
the candidates that went for the medical will be disqualifed due one
medical problem or the other which might afect them during the
course of training in the Academy. Afer the disqualifcaton, those
that are medically and physically ft will be set for the endurance race
known as 3.2km race.

STAGE5
ENDURANCE RACE(3.2KM RACE)

The above
pictures show example how the 3.2km race is being conducted.

Many candidates are always get frightened in this stage but it's one
of the simplest stage ever only if the Candidates are prepared for it
and follow the patern run the race. Male Candidates are expected
run this race in 18minutee while female Candidates is 22minutes. Any
tme higher than than will lead to disqualifcaton depending on the
numbers of Candidates lef in each state.

The 3.2km race is to determine how far you can endure pains even
when you are exhausted. Candidates can easily make the race only if
they go for regular road work(jogging) at least fve tmes per week
Candidates that always keep ft will never have any problem in this
stage. Candidates will be told to complete their race between 0sec-
18mins for the boys for frst Cage, while the girls are to complete their
race within 0sec- 22mins for frst Cage. Anytme high than this tme
will either place the candidates in second Cage, third Cage and Fourth
Cage. Don't run too fast immediately the race kicks of. Try to get
close to those at the front even if they are running faster than you like
Antelopes, do not allow them to give you a long space. Close your
mouth when running then when you begin to feel heaviness in your
heart, huh! just open your mouth a litle when you feel very very tred
as if you want to faint so that air can penetrate through your mouth
and nose in order to gain a proper breathing. Candidates will be given
a yellow plastc card as they are running then it will be collected from
them afer the race. This will enable them to know if they really
followed the right route during the race and to also prevent
candidates from using the short cut. Because candidates love that so
much.

STAGE 6 APTITUDE TEST

This stage is where candidates are required to write an ESSAY and also
answer some Objectve questons. The objectve questons is a
random queston coming from mathematcs, English, Government,
And Current Afairs such as football, latest news and event about
other foreign countries and so forth while for other courses you will
have to study their text books very well, Candidates will be given a
single Objectve answer sheet just like the one they issue to them
during the SCREENING Test Examinaton. While afer their objectve
questons Candidates will also be given a sheet of paper for their
Essay writng. You might be asked by the AFSB with this queston
"WHY DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A MILITARY OFFICER?, "WHY IS
NIGERIA A GREAT NATION" And so forth. Here is how to write the
Essay.

TOPIC: WHY DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A MILITARY OFFICER

Military is the combinaton of the Army, Navy, Airforce, Space force
and Marine.

The military is the group or groups of people that are given power to
defend a country. They are armed, so they are called the armed
forces. The military protects its country by defending it from the
armed forces of enemies, if there is a war. The military can also be
ordered by the government of the country to atack another country.
The word "military" comes from Latn miles, warrior.

Most recognized branches of the military are Army, Navy and

Airforce.

Army (land) – A military force of soldiers mainly on land or driving in

land vehicles. They also use helicopters.

Navy (sea) – A military force that uses ships and boats. They also
sometmes have planes. People in a navy are called sailors unless they
are ofcers or pilots.

Air force (air) – A military force that uses mainly airplanes.

Sometmes the military has more branches that do more specialized

work. For example, in the United States and United Kingdom there
are:

Marines – Military forces that serve on ships, but are also trained to
fght on land when needed. Their main job is to atack by landing on
enemy beaches. They work closely with a navy, but are not sailors.
They may also have their own boats, planes, and helicopters.

Some big countries even have small units which perform special
actons which are very difcult. They are called special forces.
A MILITARY OFFICER

A military ofcer is a member of an armed forces who holds a

positon of authority mostly commissioned into the Army, Navy or
Airforce.

Everyone has some aim in their life to become something. Some fail
and some succeed in achieving it. For instance, for the sake of Nigeria
many Ofcers sacrifced their lives to protect her . Therefore,
everyone is born with a purpose and should be aware of their
ambiton.

My aim in life is to become a military Ofcer and to serve my country.

I want to name, fame or money but power for my country. With

honesty, I want to serve my fatherland and with love and also praise
it everywhere. Being in the military is full of adventures which
interests me. Military protects many lives and well being of others.
Military are dutful, alert and punctual and I too possess these
qualites which qualifes me to become a military ofcer.

Just like Ofcers, my aim in life is to have a moto of 'do or die.' If I

become a military ofcer I will serve my naton in every best possible
way and with truth and honesty.
I sincerely believe that being in the military is the best thing on Earth,
with God who strengthens man and make all things possible should
grant me the strength to serve my naton and I shall serve, respect my
naton at all tmes. And I wish to be among those my country will be
proud of.

Candidates's Essay must be a good one which will describe the topic
they are asked to write about. This to enable them earn a good mark
in it. Don't use words you can't tell the meaning, just make is simple
and meaningful, and easy to read.

STAGE7

What is required in this stage is candidates's Endurance and Agility.
Candidates are advised to drink enough water and do some exercises

pole there.

7. Candidates will come across another stage which is called "The

Monkey Hand Bridge" candidate's push will really help them in this
stage because they will have to cross themself with the use of their
hands without their legs touching the ground. Most candidates always

Candidates will also have to swing themselves very well without
touching the RedRope ted across the fnish point of this stage.

mind that they are almost done. Candidates will come across eight
Tunnels which they will have to crawl inside and comeout from the
otherside. This is where candidates normally get stained Like beautful
bigs and also sustain Injury on the kneel or elbow.

10. This is the last stage which requires all that they have been
training themselves for and this stage carries high marks than others.
Alot of candidates always have problem in this stage especially the
female ones. Well its a bit easy only if they are constant in doing
exercises . It is all about endurance and brainwork it is not by muscles
or power. Immediately they get to this stage they are to make sure
their hands are totally dried. If they are not take a sand and rob it on
your hands or clean them very well with cloth for easy climbing and
gripping and also in order to avoid slippery when climbing the Last
rope.

Candidates will come across a very tall Pole with about fve to six
ropes ted on it. Grab one of them and start climbing. They are to hold
the rope frst then place their right hand at the upper part of the rope
above their head then do thesame to their lef hand and then pull
themselves up. It will be in this form 1 2 3 pull, 1 2 3 pull, that is
1(their right hands should frst go up when grabbing the ropes),
2(their lef hands should follow in alignment with their right hands
place upward before, then 3(then pull their body upward with their
hands holding the rope frmly) and with their legs wrapping the rope.
Repeat this procedure up to 8tmes then you will be very surprise to
see yourself at the fnish point.

Candidates must touch or kiss the upper cross bar before coming
down then the instructors there will give them full scores. Afer that
they can go and take pictures as they wish because you will be
certfed Physically ft. The essence of the pictures are to remind the
actvites of the AFSB Interview.

STAGE 8
GROUP OBSTACLE CROSSING
In this stage, your state will be divided into two Or Three groups
depending on the total number of candidates who made it out from
the Eliminaton stage. There are many group obstacles in the feld but
you will only be required to make use of three(3) or four(4) as the
Case maybe. The one I know of Is Retrieving the Rife, Retrieving the
Diamond and Retriving the scroll. This 3 group obstacles are very
technical so it required alot of thinking before you can do anything.
You and your team will be giving just 4mints each to Read each and
every obstacle problem there. That is the three. But your group will
have to fnish one obstacle before proceeding to the next one. In this
stage a Leader is Required who will have to give directves on who
should go in frst and what other actvites others in the group should
do. The Lightest person is always instructed to go in. But my Advice to
you my brothers and sisters is that you should not Stand there Like a
Forbidden tree watching. Make sure you do something or if possible
try and be the group leader because you will be given an Additonal
mark if you act as a Leader or partake in the Actvites. REMEMBER
THIS: your Fellow State Candidate is your Greatest Enemy as far as
AFSB Screening Exercise Is Concern that is just the truth Even right
from the Day you wrote your EE. So try and do all you can to make a
good point in order for you to have a high Chance of being Selected.

STAGE9
MODELING
This stage is also a very technical stage where candidate's confdence
will be tested to know if you are capable of bringing quick soluton to
a possible situaton.

The modeling comprises of various populated and urbanized areas in

Kaduna State. And each of these town have there own various
problems that must be tackled urgently by candidates. Candidates will
fnd diferent Toys, colours, roads objects, etc there. All of these
representng real life Status. Such as Car, boats, houses, horses,
donkeys, tricycles, helicopters, humans, trees, rivers, Ambulance etc.
All these are found there.
Candidates will be instructed to pick a piece of paper from the rest
papers there with each of them containing the various problems of
each town in kaduna. Candidates will be given just 4minutes to read
what is inside the paper they choosed which contains the problem of
very area. Then afer that Candidates will be instructed to keep the
paper and step forward to explain and give a possible soluton to the
problem. In this stage Candidates might turn to stammerers when it
comes to this due to lack of confdence.

All the problems in each of the Town present in the Model is writen
on diferent papers among which Candidates will choose one of them
without knowing the partcular town they are about to choose.

Candidates are expected to understand the problem and also try and
view the town in the model as they are reading it so that they will
have a clear understanding of the situaton. If they can't understand it
then there is no way they can give any answer to the problem in that
case they will end up messing up at the stage. It requires brain and
mind work that's why it psychologically standard.

Candidates are to bold to face and talk to instructors during this stage,
your sense of reasoning and confdence are really needed in this
stage. Candidates are not to rush their words as if they have hot rice
burning in their mouth. If they are able to pass this stage!, then they
are fully prepared to face the Intelligent generals in the Board. Afer
this stage, next is Board facing, where high ranky military ofcers will
be present to as each candidate questons psychologically.
This last stage of the Armed Force Selecton Board, is very tactcal and
simple too if candidates prepare very well for. Boldness, Confdence,
and Neatness are really needed in this stage. It is very advisable for
candidates to go to the interview with four pairs of blue shorts and
four pairs of white round neck T-shirts and two white canvas,
preserve one pair of blue short and white T-shirt and one white
canvas, don't buy Chelsea blue short for board facing, buy a blue
material and see your blue shorts, Candidates are to iron the one they
will use to face the board and keep it separate together with the
white canvas.On day of Board facing candidates will be called
according to their chest numbers in their state.

FINAL PSYCHOLOGICAL STAGE

or she has to be bold and fully prepared academically. Candidates will
be asked questons according to their departments. And afer this
stage Candidates will be allowed to go back home and wait for the
fnal results which is the admission list.
Here are some related questons Candidates are likely to be asked

the answer to queston they ask. But try to say something relatng to
the queston been asked. Don't be a dumb. Because these are the
people that has the power to do and undo in this AFSB Interview.
They are very intelligent and smart, and for a candidate to understand
them he or she has to be fully prepared for the fnal stage

Remember Candidate's appearance to the board maters alot because

military is all about Boldness, Diligence, Discipline, Respect and
Neatness.

1. BOLDNESS
For candidates to pass through the hard tme in the military, they
must have the boldness to face any kind of challenges that will come
their way anytme any moment. Being present in the baord is for
them to determine your Boldness, as far you with stand challenges of
diferent forms, this where they know if Candidates are really
prepared to join any of the Armed forces, here they see if candidates
are capable of engaging in conservaton with higher ranky military
ofcers for mission clarifcaton. Surely candidates might get scared
seeing these generals, due their dressing, the way they talk, that's
because they are men of dignity, their dressing looks so charming due
to nature of clothes they are putng on. Don't be deceived by their
appearance those generals are very friendly. Candidates are advised

2. DILIGENCE
Like they say: "Hard work pays" Truly it pays, candidates are expected
to be fully prepared physically and academically before embarking on
the AFSB Interview journey, military is all about hard work, being
hard working in the military will earn such person alot of
recommendaton and respect and good positons too. During this
interview, especially the compettve parts of the interview,
candidates need to put in their best eforts in it inorder to perform

3. DISCIPLINE
Good morals mater alot in the military, military ofcers are highly
disciplined. People with bad morals can't be allowed to join the
military. For candidates to be selected they have to be disciplined,
being self disciplined is good. This where you do the right thing at the
tme. Doing the right thing at the wrong tme is considered
indiscipline and such as atacking your enemies when they have
invaded you already. That's to show you were playing when training
