Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara has inaugurated the new facility designated as the Navy Training Command Headquarters in the state.

Situated in the Ebubu community within the Eleme Local Government Area of the state, the facility now serves as the headquarters for the training command, which was recently moved from Lagos State in the South-West to its current location in Rivers State in the South-South region of Nigeria.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, was present during the commission.

Ogalla, who confirmed the relocation during a formal visit to the Government House on Thursday, emphasized that the relocation signifies a crucial strategic decision by the Nigerian Navy, highlighting the significance of having the Navy Training Command headquarters in a state abundant in oil resources and river networks like Rivers State.

He further explained that the move is in line with the Navy’s goal to bolster its operational capabilities, especially in areas such as maritime security, combating oil theft, and defence in the Niger Delta region.
