Princess Owowoh has become the first-ever Nigerian female officer to graduate from the United Kingdom’s Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS).
The 24-year-old was one of the 135 officer cadets to graduate
during RMAS’ sovereign’s parade in London on Friday.
In 2018, Owowoh joined the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in
Kaduna where she was appointed as a cadet lance corporal in her second year.
She rose to a cadet sergeant in her fourth year and was
appointed company senior under officer Charlie (CSUO C) in her fifth year.
Owowoh held the appointment with two other female
counterparts and made history as the first female to assume the position of
CSUO in the academy.
In her fourth year, she also completed the academics wing of
the commissioning course and achieved first-class honours in biological
sciences.
“It is a profound honour to be the first Nigerian female
officer to be commissioned from the esteemed Royal Military Academy Sandhurst,”
Owowoh said.
“This achievement is
not mine alone, but a testament to the unwavering support of my family,
mentors, instructors, and countless individuals who believed in me every step
of the way.
“As I look ahead to the future, I am committed to
representing Nigeria with pride, and to making a positive difference in the
world.”
Some of the RMAS Nigerian alumni include Yakubu Gowon,
former head of state, and Emmanuel Undiandeye, chief of defence intelligence.
