Speaking at the reception ceremony of NNS LANA, at NNS Beecroft parade ground, Apapa, Lagos, the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, disclosed that the offshore vessel would also serve as a revenue generation source to the country and the Nigerian Navy, as it would enhance the capacity of the Service to conduct hydrographic surveys, to provide charting services for safe navigation as well as delivery of maritime security.

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency has said it will assist in the accreditation of professional courses offered by the Nigerian Navy.
The agency said it would also facilitate the attainment of International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers’ status for the Nigerian Navy’s training institutes.
According to a statement by the agency on Wednesday, the Director General of NIMASA, Dr Bashir Jamoh, stated these on Tuesday in Lagos, when the Flag Officer Commanding Naval Training Command, Rear Admiral Kamarudeen Lawal, visited NIMASA’s headquarters.
Jamoh spoke in response to requests by Lawal, who said collaboration between the Nigerian Navy and NIMASA was not only required for success of the country’s maritime goals, but also inevitable.
