The Chief of
Naval Staff, (CNS) Vice Adm Ibok-Ete Ibas, has promised that the Nigerian Navy
will sustain its efforts to protect the nation’s maritime domain.
The CNS made
the promise on Sunday in Abuja at an inter-denominational church service held
at Anglican Church Mogadishu Military Cantonment, to mark the 61st anniversary
of the navy.
He expressed
delight that the Nigerian Navy had attained 61 years and had also done well in
protecting the nation’s maritime domain and the security of the country.
Ibas noted that
though there were series of challenges the Navy encountered while carrying out
its professional responsibilities, its officers and men were not deterred.
He said that
a lot still needed to be done to protect the nation’s assets and general
security of the country.
He urged
other authorities to be more united in the fight against the insurgents in the
North-East and other crimes.
“Having gone
this far, it is my view that we can feel a sense of retrospective self
justification for our match from birth to date.
“We have had
chequered history no doubt, but our ups overwhelming outweigh our downs.
“If we
should take stock today, our progress will be evident in varied considerations.
