Any military is as good as its manpower. For the Nigerian Navy (NN), this same holds true because in order to properly secure the maritime domain and the nation’s territorial integrity, it requires an enormous capacity upgrade not just for fleet recapitalisation but also manpower boost in quality and quantity.
That is essentially why the NN trains professionally competent personnel in line with international best practices. Recently, it was a double whammy celebration at the passing out parade of cadets of the Special Duties Pre-Commissioning Training (SDPCT) 2020 of the Nigerian Naval College as well as the Batch 30 Trainees of the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School (NNBTS) in Onne, Rivers State.

Column No.6: Who’s checking checkpoints in Abuja?
Who’s checking checkpoints in Abuja?

It goes without saying that Abuja, being the capital city of our dear nation Nigeria, is important. So I will be the last person to complain about security being too much. In fact, I would even say it needs to be more. Checkpoints, those incredibly useful security constructs, have helped – and continue to help – to either thwart criminals, or even proactively tackle crime. The police, saddled with most of internal security, at least in the ideal situation, man most of the checkpoints in Abuja metropolis, as well as surrounding areas. Sure, the army picks up the slack in some places, but the ‘boys in blue’ are supposed to be the main custodians. They are, and boy do they mess things up in a lot of cases.
