Idi Abbas, the Chief of the Naval Staff, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to improving personnel welfare and completing abandoned infrastructure projects across the Service.

This, followed the commissioning of key facilities in Lagos as part of activities marking the Nigerian Navy Week and the Service’s 70th anniversary celebrations.

The newly commissioned projects include the Dolphin Golf Club House, a 48-room accommodation block for junior ratings, and a newly completed 16-unit block of two-bedroom flats, all located within Navy Town, Lagos.

Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, the naval chief described the projects as symbols of the Nigerian Navy’s growth over seven decades, noting that they reflect the Service’s determination to provide better living and working conditions for personnel and their families.

According to him, the facilities represent tangible evidence of the Navy’s transformation from its modest beginnings into a modern maritime force while reinforcing its commitment to personnel welfare, infrastructure development and institutional support systems.
