Northern govt
Can't our Navy or engineers build this small ship
Ship that is bugged

Vaughanlanrewaj:
You're right sir. Thank you so very much. Good morning sir.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
I think you didn't get my point sir. The meaning of decommission is not the crux of my point because the word de-commission itself is self explanatory. Also, it is stated in the report that this is a new ship and it takes the name Lana which is the name of the one decommissioned under the corrupt PDP/ GEJ administration. So I didn't bring up any confusion on which ship is in context. It is this new Lana.

What I drew your attention to is that the GEJ administration decommissioned a ship and didn't get it replaced even in the face of obvious need to replace the one his administration de-commissioned with him as the Grand Commander of The Armed Forces, rather his administration outsourced the security task the Lana he decommissioned and didn't replace should have done to Tompolo, his kinsman ,Ijaw man( emphasis is mine to draw attention to the nepotism of that administration too) and one who once took up arms against the FG.

That is referenced for posterity and to help me appreciate the government for not passing on the task of replacing that ship decommissioned by his predecessor to his successor while our waterways remain unsafe.

If the corrupt PDP/ GEJ administration that decommissioned Lana 1 had built a new one, this would have been the second ship so that we have both in use or one as back up when there's need for security reinforcements.

I am sure the Naval officers are happy and you can read the pride of being a Nigerian Navy personnel in the statement they made in Ghana. God bless President Muhammadu Buhari. God bless Nigeria.

What's high tech about it for educational purpose pls

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Thank God for the Buhari administration. This is the same ship that was decommissioned 10 years ago during the locust thieving PDP/ GEJ administration when oil price was doing fine. It was the time the GEJ administration handed over the management of our waterways to Tompolo. Smh.
May God bless PMB. May God bless Nigeria my fatherland.

New Nigerian Navy Ship voyages to Tema Port en-route Nigeria
By Ghana News Agency -May 17, 2021

A new Nigerian Navy Ship, NNS LANA, Offshore Survey Vessel, has passed through the Tema Port on its way to Nigeria from France, where it was built.

The Offshore Survey Vessel 190 MKII is equipped with state-of-the-art survey equipment and a 7.6-meter surface vehicle for shallow water survey.

The ship has an Automatic Weather Station (AWS), wet and dry laboratories, scientific and technical workshops as well as operation and processing rooms for geographical studies, search and rescue operations and patrol duties.

NNS LANA is envisaged to afford the Nigerian Navy Hydrographic Department leverage to successfully and systematically conduct hydrographic surveys and charting of Nigeria’s waters.

The vessel was handed over to the Nigerian Navy in France on January 15, 2021, after provisional acceptance trials with a change of flag ceremony conducted on April 15.

It embarked on its maiden voyage from France to Nigeria with a brief stopover at the Tema Port where Ghana’s Chief of Defence Staff and other high-ranking Ghanaian Navy Officers inspected the ship.

Rear Admiral Emmanuel Olatunji Beckley, a representative of the Chief of Naval Staff of the Nigerian Navy, and Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo, who addressed the press after an inspection of the vessel on its maiden voyage.

He said: “NNS LANA will not only enhance the safety of Nigeria’s maritime environment but the ship will serve as a critical component in the projection of naval power for enhanced maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea”.

He said the new vessel would play a critical role in the protection of maritime resources and preservation of law and order at sea, thus contributing significantly to the promotion of global maritime commerce.

He said the construction of NNS LANA by Messrs OCEA, a French shipbuilding company, was conceived as a rebirth of a previously decommissioned NNS LANA about ten years ago.

He said the entry of the vessel into the Nigerian Naval fleet was in fulfilment of the dream of enhancing the Navy’s survey capabilities.

Vice Admiral Seth Amoama, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Ghana Armed Forces, who was flanked by other high-ranking officials from the Ghana Navy, said the acquisition of the vessel by the Nigerian Navy was a commendable feat and would give the country full maritime domain awareness.

He said it would further contribute immensely to the fight against the growing insecurity, particularly piracy, on the Gulf of Guinea, adding that the ship, amongst other functions, would improve general security.

The CDS applauded the Nigerian Navy, especially the Commanding Officer of the Ship, Captain Abdullateef Bappah Mahamud and his crew on their voyage from France to Ghana, and said, the achievement chalked by Nigeria was a shining example to Africa.

He said plans were afoot to acquire a similar well-equipped vessel for Ghana in the future to play a critical role in the protection of maritime resources and preservation of maritime law and order at sea.

Present at the event was Rear Admiral Issah Yakubu, Chief of Naval Staff; Commodore Emmanuel Ayensu Kwarfo, Flag Officer Commanding, Eastern Naval Command; Ambassador Gamba Hamza, Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, amongst other officials.

You should understand Nigeria environment better, restructuring in fact most of Nigeria challenge is not a debate between APC and PDP. It's either between elites and masses or between North and south. Party is just an avenue to realise individual political agenda.

Did you ever read about 2014 confab report?
Buhari sat on it. That is the document Nigeria needs to resyructure. Everythong to save Nigeria is in that document.

SIRTee15:
The op is right.
Expecting a northerners especially a president with a military background to restructure nigeria is plain stupidity.
Buhari will never restructure nigeria. He will rather go to war with any warring faction than negotiate unity of nigeria.
If southerners are passionate about restructuring as they claim. They should hold the jugular of their politicians, and drum it into their ears that RESTRUCTURING IS A MUST AFTER 2023.
Anything apart from this is just playing politics.
However, it's good the noise of restructuring is getting louder...I hope it doesn't go silent once we have a southern president come 2023.

Lanretoye:
Restructuring is a responsibility of the opposition,no ruling party subscribe to it.

Just look how you are spreading your smelly silver over the thread.

You hated us so much yet you still wanted to be in the same country with us.

Id-iot! do you need God to tell you that that there is something fundamentally wrong with the black man?

In fact wasting my time on a brain-dead Yoruba Muslim is meaningless!
