Navy To Acquire Hydrographic Vessel From US by Handsomeemmy(m): 4:00pm On Jun 25, 2013
The Nigerian Navy is about to add to its fleetan hydrographic vessel, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba, said at the weekend.
The ship which he said will be acquired fromthe United States of America, would help to upgrade the standard of the Navy Hydrographic School (NNHS) to an IHO certified center of excellence for hydrographic studies.

The Chief of Naval Staff, who was represented by the Flag Officer Commanding(FOC), Rear Admiral Ibbas, made this disclosure at the 2013 World Hydrography Day celebration.

Considering the huge financial requirement involved in hydrographic operations and theenormity of surveying Nigeria’s vast maritime domain, it is difficult if not impossible to fund hydrography from the Nigerian Navy budgetary allocation, he said.

He said every human activity conducted in, on or under the sea depends on the depth and nature of the sea floor, the identification of any hazard that might existand understanding of the tides and the currents.
Their work is the most fundamental of all enablers required to develop and sustain theeconomy. Presently, the Nigerian Navy is in the process of developing Nigeria’s hydrographic capability in line with the IHO’S 3- Phase Hydrographic Capacity Building Strategy, he said

Nice a forward thinking administration. kudos to GEJ and his naval command.
without maritime capabilities a coastal country like nigeria will find it very difficult to progress.

Good development,please Goodluck Jonathan ensure all parastatals and Ministries employ the best brains for public offices-we should be proffesional and utilise merits in selection not nepotism and tribalism.This federal character we use enhances mediocrity-the best should be given the job.

u know am right u just want to be funny. haven't you heard of TROJAN HORSE? I could call something like this one except that this one will be bought. Nigeria is not stupid but our defence should not be something to toy with or careless about. Remember when US submarine surfaced in Nigeria? we didn't know it was there

Why would we want to fight US . If we don't buy from them and go to the Chinese, people will say NN bought inferior Boat. But we now bought from the US, some guys are saying that we shouldn't buy from themundecided

I swear, I often wish this forum is an open platform where identity of responders could be ascertained.
I'm sure quite a significant number would be under age, not as if age matters mostly though because some elderly people just have low I.Q irrespective of how old they grow.
One kid said something about U.S fighting nigeria! You wan extinct? They would obliterate nigeria with their satellite guided missiles without stepping out of their country.
Another one said he is thinking outside the box and mentioning bugging ship as if we have any secret from our e-mail to phone calls that make use of satellite linking to satellite imagery that would capture movement inside aso rock and all military formation at will.
I commend the nigeria navy and hope the ship would be used for the purpose it was bought for.
I think it makes use of sonar echo location.
