Owowoh as a cadet, which accorded her the rare privilege of becoming the first female Nigerian to be trained at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as well as her promotion to the new rank.

Recall that on April 24, GWG.ng reported that Owowoh made history when she became the first Nigerian female officer to graduate from the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, in the United Kingdom.

This achievement had in no small measure garnered applause, admiration and support from Nigeria’s first lady and Nigerians at large.
