CNS seeks stronger civil-military cooperation

Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, has advocated for stronger civil-military cooperation in Nigeria to promote national security and prosperity. He made this statement at the inauguration of the Chief of Naval Staff Special Intervention Quick Impact Project funded by the former Western Naval Command Rear Admiral Michael Gregory Oamen.

The project aimed to improve the lives of the Ibore-Irrua community in Edo State by constructing an ultra-modern hall, mini-marts, and an IT garden. Abbas highlighted that empowering communities through meaningful development strengthens both national security and prosperity. He praised Oamen's leadership, emphasizing that meaningful leadership positively impacts others' lives.

The Nigerian Navy will continue to partner with communities across the country to foster peace, decision, and progress, reinforcing that military personnel are drawn from these communities and are committed to their upliftment.
