CHief Of Naval Staff Urges Nigerians To Be Security Conscious

The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Adm. Ibok-Ete Ibas, has urged Nigerians to be security conscious at all times.

Ibas said this on Saturday while donating medical and other items to Kuchigoro Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in the FCT as part of activities marking the navy’s 61st anniversary.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the CNS was represented by Rear Adm. Segun Adebari, Chief of Administration, Naval Headquarters.

The CNS said the security needs of various IDP camps should not be overlooked despite the decimation of the capacity of the insurgents.

Ibas said the service had extended its medical outreach to some selected communities in Sokoto, Adamawa, Rivers, Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Benue.

Ibas said the donation was part of the navy’s corporate social responsibility to show beneficiaries love and sense of belonging and give back to the society.

“It is also part of building civil/military relations which is one of the cardinal objectives of the NN,” the CNS said.

Items donated included treated mosquito nets, malaria drugs, consumables, eye glasses, school materials and toiletries.

In another development, the Naval Officers’ Wives Association, (NOWA) also donated some relief materials to the Amazing Grace Foundation for the care of the elderly persons.
