The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has welcomed 2nd Lt Princess Oluchukwu Owowoh after she completed her training on April 12, 2024, at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, United Kingdom.
The First Lady, who noted the sterling performances of 24-year-old Owowoh, described the officer as a good example of the great feats Nigerian youths can achieve.
While celebrating the officer, Tinubu requested all present, including the wife of the Vice President, wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, wives of ministers, wives of Service Chiefs and members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to give a standing ovation to Owowoh.
In her remarks, the wife of the Chief of Defence Staff, Mrs. Oghogho Musa, said the training and graduation of Owowoh is a testament of improved female inclusion in the country.
The Commandant of the Nigeria Defence Academy, Maj. Gen OJ Ochai, explained that Owowoh was the best of the 200 selected cadets from the NDA. He said the officer excelled in three areas earmarked, which were academics, military subjects and physical fitness.
Owowoh received the prestigious Sandhurst Medal after the likes of Sir Winston Churchill, Prince William of Wales and former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon. She has since been assigned to the Nigerian Military Intelligence unit on her return to the country.
