First female soldier trained at Sandhurst, Oluchukwu Owowo, promoted as Lieutenant

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, has authorised the promotion of Second Lieutenant Princess Oluchukwu Owowo to the substantive rank of Lieutenant (Lt) in the Nigerian Army.

Speaking during the decoration ceremony which took place Wednesday at the Nigerian Defence Academy Officer’s Mess and Golf Club, the NDA Commandant Major General John 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, family members, among others.
