FOC Advises Naval Ratings Against Politics
Graduands of the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School (NNBTS) have been advised to live up to their civic responsibility of defending the territorial integrity of the nation, rather than engaging themselves in any political activities or economic sabotage to the country.
The Flag Officer commending (FOC) Eastern Naval Command gave the advise on Friday at the passing out parade ceremony of batch 17 trainees and launching of the Beacon magazine at the NNBTS parade ground, Onne in Rivers State.
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.
