Chief of Naval Staff Marks 1-Year In Office With Giant Strides In Areas Of The Nigerian Navy

On this day, the 23rd June 2023, the Chief of the Naval Staff(CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, took over office from his predecessor, having being appointed by the President Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on 19 June 2023.

In the past one year, the CNS has made giant strides in all areas of the Nigerian Navy. From Operations to Fleet Renewal and Infrastructural Development,
from Personnel Welfare, to Training and Manpower Development, from Maritime Stakeholders Engagement, to Interagency Cooperation and Youths & Sports Development there have been paradigm shifts and quantum leaps of positive achievements.

Today, the Nigerian Navy is at its highest state of operational readiness and ranks as the 4th largest Navy in Africa.

All these are a testament to Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla’s commitment to shaping the Nigerian Navy (NN) into a professionally competent and ethical naval force while leveraging on all elements of national power for the effective defence of Nigeria’s maritime area of interest against all form of threat in fulfilment of national security imperatives.

Happy Anniversary to the CNS and NN family.
