Participants during the outreach in Calabar
The Nigerian Navy has pledged its commitment to providing educational and health support for students in Cross River as part of its obligation to national development and human capacity building.
Capt. David Odu, Command Education Officer, Eastern Naval Command, made this commitment during an educational and medical outreach in Calabar on Tuesday as part of its 70th anniversary celebration.
“This initiative aligns with the strategic vision of the Chief of the Naval Staff to strengthen civil-military relations and enhance the Nigerian Navy’s contribution to national socio-economic development”, he added.
According to him, since its establishment in 1956, the Nigerian Navy has remained steadfast in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities of defending the territorial integrity and maritime interests of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
