The newly appointed Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, has assumed office, promising to deal decisively with oil thieves sabotaging the nation's economy.
I am confident that we can transform our maritime domain into a safer, more secure, and prosperous space for socio-economic activities to thrive in fulfilment of our constitutional mandate.”
The former CNS, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo , said under him, said the service evolved more stringent operations concepts and strategies to tackle the devastating impacts of piracy, sea robbery, the proliferation of illegal refineries, brazen crude oil theft, and destruction of critical oil and gas infrastructure among others.
He said, “To this end, we heightened our commitment to anti-piracy operations, anti-COT operations, choke point operations as well as riverine and swamp operations. “To give impetus to this resolve, we embarked on massive fleet renewal, robust logistics management, acquisition of additional platforms, human capital enhancement, holistic infrastructural development, and effective collaboration with local and international partners.
“Our determination to face the several maritime security challenges would have been weakened if not for the immense support we received from the various quarters.”All rights reserved.
