Sandhurst, United Kingdom - Princess Owowoh has made history by becoming the first-ever female officer cadet from Nigeria to graduate from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom.

The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is recognised as a world-leading military training academy, hence, the reason Other Nations choose to send their personnel there for Officer training.
