Nigeria's Navy Is On The Right Track, And Here Is Why by Chxta(m): 8:08am On Sep 03, 2014 |
On arrival at the base, our first port of call was the Underwater Warfare Training Facility. This is basically a four storey high tank that simulates the conditions underwater, in order to let naval divers learn, and perfect their craft. The tank is in use, and we were shown an example of how it is made use of. Following the tank, we were taken to see some of their workshops. The Nigerian military, since the days of Abacha, when sanctions decimated its ability to service its equipment, has been making efforts to look inwards in terms of fabrication and maintenance. Like in Victoria Island, I saw vessels under repair, and a device, outfitted for making repairs underwater. What I found most interesting was the fact that there were trainees being taught how to make those repairs. One of my hosts, who of course did not want to be identified, spoke with some pride about the NNS Andoni, a made-in-Nigeria warship of the P100 class. I did not get to see the ship though. Read about the rest of my visit to Navy Town, Ojo, here. |

Nigerian navy is the most promising branch of the military. They are very proactive and in tune with the 21st century unlike the army and the airforce. |

I expect Nigerians to pay a visit to these dockyards and enjoy the intricacies of the indigenous ship building industry. God bless china for the much needed technology transfer. |
