According to a statement issued on Friday by the British High Commission in Abuja, the 24-year-old Princess was one of the 135 Officer Cadets to graduate during RMAS’ Sovereign’s Parade on Friday in London.

The parade marked the completion of 44 weeks of intensive training for the Officer Cadets of Commissioning Course 232. At the ceremony, His Majesty King Charles was represented by the head of the French Army, Général d’armée Pierre SchilI, Chief of the Army Staff.

Since the 1950s, several Nigerian officers including former Nigerian Head of State Yakubu Gowon and the Chief of Defence Intelligence, Major General Emmanuel Undiandeye have become RMAS alumni, the statement said.

Speaking of her achievement, Officer Cadet Owowoh Princess Oluchukwu said: “It is a profound honour to be the first Nigerian female officer to commission from the esteemed Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. 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.”

The UK in the statement said it is proud to celebrate this historic occasion with Nigeria and congratulated the newly Commissioned Officer Oluchukwu on her remarkable achievement.

Princess’ graduation as the first female and 190th Nigerian graduate, marks a significant milestone in the UK’s long-standing commitment to supporting Nigeria’s Professional Military Education training. This commitment to close UK-Nigerian cooperation was affirmed during the recent UK- Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership talks held in February 2024.

In 2018, Princess joined the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), in Kaduna State, Nigeria. During her second year at the NDA, she was appointed a Cadet Lance Corporal; a Cadet Sergeant in her fourth year and in her fifth year she was appointed to the role of Company Senior Under Officer Charlie (CSUO C).
