As part of its education sponsorship program for the 2024–2025 academic year, the Nigerian Army plans to carry out a verification and screening process for children of deceased members. For the children of service members who died while in active duty, this program guarantees access to high-quality primary, secondary, and university education.
The screening will take place between February 8 and March 17, 2025, in Abuja and the six geopolitical zones. Participation is invited from prospective applicants, recipients upgrading, and those who were not able to attend the prior screening.
