The headquarters of the training command was recently relocated from Lagos State, South-West, Nigeria to its new location in Rivers, South-South of the country.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, announced the relocation during a courtesy visit to the Government House on Thursday.

During the visit, Vice Admiral Ogalla said the relocation marks a significant strategic move by the Nigerian Navy, underscoring the importance of having the headquarters of its Navy Training Command in an oil-rich and riverine state like Rivers.

He said the decision aligns with the Navy’s objective to enhance its operational capabilities, particularly in maritime security, anti-oil theft war, and defense in the Niger Delta region.
