CNS Tasks Naval Commanders on Intelligence, Technology-Driven Operations
From Hassan Taiye with Correspondence Reports
The Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, has charged commanders of Nigerian Navy commands, units and establishments to leverage intelligence and technology to enhance operations aimed at defending Nigeria’s territorial integrity and combating criminal activities in the country’s maritime domain.
The directive was contained in a statement issued by the Acting Director of Naval Information, Captain Abiodun Folorunsho.
According to the statement, the CNS gave the charge during a strategic meeting at the Naval Headquarters with Flag Officers Commanding, commanders of tri-service operations, operational bases and logistics groups.
Vice Admiral Abbas also reaffirmed the importance of upholding the Nigerian Navy’s core values of professionalism, integrity and teamwork in the discharge of their duties.
The statement explained that the strategic engagement with the commanders, coming four months after the CNS assumed office, was aimed at repositioning Nigerian Navy operations across all spectrums in line with the Total Spectrum Maritime Strategy.
It noted that the meeting followed an extensive operational tour undertaken by the CNS to interact directly with personnel across naval units and consult with key stakeholders on ways to strengthen the Navy’s operational effectiveness.
The statement added that the initiative aligns with the CNS’s vision of building a modern, agile and professional naval force dedicated to securing Nigeria’s maritime interests and advancing national security objectives in collaboration with other security agencies.
Vice Admiral Abbas also commended the operational successes recorded under the Nigerian Navy’s flagship operation, Operation Delta Sentinel, as well as other related operations.
He praised the increase in intelligence-led and technology-driven naval operations, which have led to major seizures of stolen crude oil, destruction of illegal refining sites, arrests of illegal bunkerers and improved search-and-rescue operations.
According to him, these efforts have helped ensure zero piracy incidents in Nigeria’s waters, boosted oil production and saved the nation billions of naira that could have been lost to criminal activities.
The CNS also assured of the Federal Government’s continued commitment to supporting the Nigerian Navy through strategic investments aimed at strengthening naval operations and improving personnel welfare.
He further commended the significant contributions of the Nigerian Navy to ongoing counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations across various joint theatres in the country.
Vice Admiral Abbas urged the commanders to sustain the momentum and continue to collaborate with other armed services and security agencies in tackling security challenges.
He noted that expectations from the presidency and the nation are high, urging commanders to work diligently to accomplish their assigned tasks.
The CNS also emphasised the need to sustain the current operational tempo to ensure that the gains recorded are not eroded.
At the meeting, he reiterated his command philosophy, highlighting discipline, integrity, merit, accountability and personnel welfare as key guiding principles.
He stressed that merit must be rewarded to motivate personnel and urged commanders to take personal responsibility for the men and materials under their command while ensuring effective use of available resources.
