The Nigerian Navy has called for “good civil-military relations” in the Niger Delta, to further boost security in the region.
Specifically, the Navy canvassed for “intelligence sharing between the Naval Base and the host communities for a secured and peaceful environment in Ugborodo general area of Warri South West LGA of Delta State.
The Commanding Officer, Forwarding Operating Base, Escravos, Navy Captain Olayinka Aliu, made the call on Saturday during an educational outreach by the Navy in the various communities of Ugborodo.
He noted that the Educational Rhapsody which was coming up on the heels of a Medical Rhapsody recently conducted by the Naval personnel in the Ugborodo general area was “part of the non-kinetic component of ‘Operation Delta Sanity III’, aimed at utilising the soft approach to win hearts and minds of the locals in the fight against COT.”
During the outreach, educational materials were donated to various schools as well as career lectures for students.
The outreach which was climaxed by refreshments, music and words of advice from the attendees was attended by the king of the Ugborodo kingdom, HRH The Galaxy, the Eharaja of the Ugborodo kingdom as well as leaders from the various host communities, among others.
