Emmanuel Ogalla, has assured Nigerians that the Nigerian Navy will up its game towards defeating the enemies of the state and other criminal elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ogalla, who was represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans (Navy), Rear Adm.

Dewu said the readiness of the Nigerian navy to defend the nation was not in doubt at 69.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that Nigerians should expect the best from the navy with the new platforms acquired by the government which include ships, helicopters, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the central programmes for the Navy Week would take place in Lagos with interdenominational church service on May 25 at the Navy town followed by the sailing competition Gulf Kitty and inauguration of some projects and the newly acquired platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen the high point of the Navy week is the day of navy\u2019s birthday, which is on June 1 and the day we are going to have a ceremonial sunset and Dina at Naval Dockyard Lagos,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rear Adm.
