Both statements are correct.
But the second statement is not a correct explanation of the first.
It should be stated like that: The O.N. of nitrogen in ammonia will be increased if ammonia reacts with a strong oxidizing agent.

The O.N. of nitrogen in ammonia will be increased when undergoing oxidation if ammonia reacts with a strong oxidizing agent.
