The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Nigerian Army, has unveiled its nationwide education sponsorship screening dates for children of security personnel who died in active service as part of welfare and support initiatives for affected families.

The programme is designed to ensure access to quality education at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels for the children of officers and soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. It reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to supporting families of fallen heroes and ensuring no child is left behind in their educational aspirations.

Screening Schedule Per Geopolitical Zones

The verification and screening exercise will be conducted across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) beginning in late February through March 2026:
South-South Zone — February 23–26, 2026

Officials have urged eligible applicants to prepare early and bring all necessary documentation to their respective zonal screening centres. For further enquiries, the Nigerian Army has provided contact information through official communication channels.
