The Nigerian Army says the Passing-Out-Parade of 80 Regular Recruits Intake is now scheduled to hold on Saturday 29 May 2021, at RSM Hama Kim Parade Ground in Depot, Nigerian Army Zaria.

However, the event could not hold due to the ill-fated plane crash that cut short the lives of the COAS and ten (10) others on the evening of Friday 21 May 2021.

Passing-Out-Parade is one of the series of activities lined up to mark the end of the rigorous training involved in the process of making of a soldier. It is the climax of Recruits intensive training in Depot Nigerian Army.

The ceremony showcases the height of military discipline and regimentation.
