The FOC, who was represented by flag officer Ben Achalonu said that about 1012 Navy rating personnel graduated from the training, saying that the training is in line with the Naval manning plan which he said determines the number of intake in a year.
He urged them to be good ambassadors of this country to ensure that they exhibit international best practices in the course of discharging their duties.
Speaking to newsmen, the flag officer commanding naval training school, Rear Admiral E.U. Ekwere, said the training is an annual event where youths are recruited and trained at the rating cadre and their mission is to demonstrate their training to the best interest of the country.
The Commanding Officer, Navy basic training School, Navy Captain Moses I. Lekwot said part of the challenges that confronted the School was lack of funding to meet the necessary logistics. Also the moulding of youths who came from civil background to be transformed to military life and setting posed a lot of difficulty which he said was overcomed due to the caliber of trainers and instructors.
He urged the trainees look up to defending the integrity of the nation as well as aim at attaining a greater height in the profession.

The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
