The Nigerian Defence Academy
recently conferred honorary doctorate degrees in management science on three
prominent individuals, including the African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org)
President, Akinwumi Adesina.
The other recipients were
Muhammadu Indimi, Chairman, Oriental Energy and a career military officer,
retired Lt. General Chikadibia Isaac Obiakor.
The degrees were conferred on the
trio for their distinguished services to the Federal Republic of Nigeria as exemplary
Nigerian ambassadors who have made indelible impacts in and outside the
country, said Major General Adeniyi Oyebade, Commandant, NDA.
In his response, Adesina lauded
the NDA as one of Nigeria’s finest bastions of academic, military, character
and leadership training and commended its values of discipline, hard work,
integrity, and patriotism.
“The Nigerian Defence Academy is
an exceptional symbol of Nigeria's strength and unity. Its world-class military
and academic rigor has produced and continues to produce some of Nigeria's
best, brightest, and finest,” he remarked.
The Nigerian Defence Academy was
established on 5 February 1964 in response to the defence needs of the then
newly independent West African nation. The 2018 convocation ceremony featured
1,562 graduates including cadets of the institution’s 66th Regular Course and
post-graduate students.
