Navy relocates training base from Lagos to Rivers, gives reason  

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, has announced the relocation of the Naval Training Command headquarters from Lagos to Onne in Rivers state.

Ogalla said the Nigerian Navy is moving its training command to Rivers because it has enough space to carry out its duties.

He made this known during a courtesy visit to the Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, at Government House, Port Harcourt on Thursday, April 25.

He explained that the facility became available following the donation of two schools – the Ambassador Nne Krukrubo Model Secondary School at Eleme in the Eleme local government area, and the Model Secondary School, at Egbelu in the Oyigbo local government area.

“We also want to use this opportunity to inform His Excellency that following that donation, and based on our strategic plan of moving our facilities to areas where we have enough space to be able to carry out our duties, we have renovated the school at Eleme.’

“We are happy to report, today, that the erstwhile location of headquarters of Naval Training Command, Lagos, is moving to that particular school location in Eleme, tomorrow.”
