He appointed Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla to replace Awwal Gambo as Chief of Naval Staff.
President Bola Tinubu made sweeping changes to Nigeria’s armed forces on Monday, retiring all service chiefs and the inspector general of police.
Mr Ogalla was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1992 and he rose to the rank of rear admiral in September 2021. In May 2000, he completed the Sub Lieutenant Technical Course of the Nigerian Navy Ship QUORRA. He served on board many ships including Nigerian Navy Ship AMBE, NNS EKUN, NNS DELTA and NNS PATHFINDER, according to his resume obtained by PREMIUM TIMES. While on board NNS EKUN, he took part in the Economic Community Cease-Fire Monitoring Group, Operations in Liberia in 1996. ECOMOG was set up by a group of West African nations under the auspices of the Economic Community of West African States to end the bloody civil war in Liberia, in August 1990.
As Commandant, he linked the School with Teledyn Marines, a reputable Original Equipment Manufacturer in the United States, which enabled the Nigerian Navy to procure several survey equipment from the company, leading to improvements in practical training. His tour of duty at the Nigerian Defence College saw him contribute immensely towards the improvement of the college’s research package and also led the 2018 participants on a research study tour to China and South Korea.
