LAGOS — History will be made tomorrow when President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan commissions the first locally made warship, NNS ANDONI, constructed by Nigerian Navy engineers.

The commissioning ceremony will take place at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The 31m Nigerian Navy Seaward Defence Boat (SDB) was conceived as a research and development project by Vice Admiral GTA Adekeye and Rear Admiral GJ Jonah who were then Chief of the Naval Staff and Chief of Naval Engineering respectively.

NNS ANDONI, first locally-made warship constructed by Nigerian Navy engineers, to be commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan, at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos, tomorrow.

The vessel, which was to be designed and built locally, was patterned after the river town class patrol craft in the Nigerian Navy which include NNS YOLA and NNS BRASS, albeit with several modifications as decided by the design team.

The keel of the SDB was laid at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard by the then Chief of the Naval Staff in December 2007 while full construction commenced in January 2008.

Between January 2008 and April 2009, the structural frames and shell plating of the hull and superstructure were completed while the main propulsion and power generation plants were delivered. Thereafter, the project was suspended due to funding delays until the incumbent Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral OS Ibrahim revived the project by approving funds for its completion.

This is in furtherance to the remark by the president at the commissioning of NNPC/MPN Satellite Field Development Project Platforms in Lagos on 17 March 2012 when he said: “Our government will continue to support genuine efforts to uplift the country’s economy through Nigerian Content Development and we will continue to encourage the investors to encourage the development of local content.”

The vessel was successfully completed through tenacity, ingenious innovation as well as sincere and focussed leadership, despite the previously highlighted challenges.

It is expected that this leap forward in capacity at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard would herald a future of sustained research and development in the Nigerian Navy towards achieving national transformation.

This is a Titillating News..! WOW I'm proud of GEJ. Once again he has shown that with calm head and discipline .and ignoring detractors you can do exploit. Now Nigerians raise your head from the sand once again because a certain amount of pride has once more been restored to the cess pit. More to come GEJ Keep moving and I'm sure you know what next.
Those spewing gibberish that the project started 100 million years ago. Who cares it must have taken the persuasions and hard work of this administration to bring it to fusion so go and drink acid or hug a transformer if you are still hating. grin

Good development
Mr president should concentrate more on thing that we alleviate poverty and put smile on the faces of the common suffering citizen of Nigeria rather than escalating our problem with decision which will not benefit masses

@Beaf,

Warship? Is it 'made' or 'assembled' in Nigeria? A friend had told me about this project before.
Re: Jonathan Commissions NNS ANDONI Warship: Made In Nigeria by Beaf: 1:22pm On May 31, 2012

Its a gunboat (you know the way awa pipo like exageration). Yes, it was made here.

They've conquered Nigeria already. Hasn't Bakkassi been ceded to them? So, what are we conquering? Let Jonathan launchpoverty warship to free Nigerians from squalor.
Re: Jonathan Commissions NNS ANDONI Warship: Made In Nigeria by gulfer: 1:28pm On May 31, 2012
This should be first locally assembled ship warship. What components of the ship was made in Nigeria?
Re: Jonathan Commissions NNS ANDONI Warship: Made In Nigeria by jawjaw1: 1:33pm On May 31, 2012
Is that the warship in the picture? Looks more like a tug boat to me grin grin grin

I hope they have tested it completely. Don't want to hear about any misfiring machine guns and torpedos/missiles later o!

Anyways, congrats to the Nigerian Navy for achieving this feat.

Recall I said Nigerian Navy not GEJ. He is only LUCKY to be presido when dis feat was achieved.

People should be thanking the engineers and the navy who were the ones behind this projects. This project was started years ago and GEJ had nothing to do with it, He is just commissioning it..

Beaf: The project was dead and only revived under GEJ.

Yes the project received its final phase of funds during GEJ administration but GEJ as an individual had nothing to do with it. I believe it was the ministry of finance along with the CBN that gave them the funds and the navy and engineers built the vessel. Plus GEJ didn't say anything nor did he give himself credit for this, its only those on nairaland and the Internet who are.

After over 55years of ww11 when Germans build a supersonic warship and a gigantic submarine boat to conquer europe and even the entire world.
Though similar feet were achieved during Biafran civil war but nigeria were quick to bury those brain behind this technological art.
Think of localy made Biafran aircraft,ogbunigwe(mass killer),rocket luncher,many guns of different types were manufactured
.
So whats hold us so back?

Is it because we're still a third world country?

Thank God were are giant of Africagrin
