Babatunji Wusu –
Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, has opened the new facility known as the Navy Training Command Headquarters.
The facility, located in the Ebubu hamlet in the Eleme Local Government Area of the state, now acts as the headquarters for the training command, which was recently relocated from Lagos State in the South West to its current location in Rivers State in Nigeria’s South-South area.
Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, the Chief of Naval Staff, was present at the commission.
Ogalla, who confirmed the relocation during a formal visit to Government House on Thursday, emphasized that the move represents a critical strategic decision by the Nigerian Navy, emphasizing the importance of having the Navy Training Command headquarters in a state rich in oil resources and river networks, such as Rivers State.
He went on to say that the decision is consistent with the Navy’s goal of improving its operational capabilities, particularly in areas including as maritime security, fighting oil theft, and Niger Delta defence.
