Thirty members of the Nigerian Navy Special Boat Services
(SBS) abandoned ship during a training on asymmetric warfare and
emergency maritime threats.
The 30 trainees were part of 53 personnel engaged by the Special Boat
Services unit (equivalent to the United States’ Navy SEAL) of the
Nigerian Navy to undergo 24 weeks of intensive training that will mould
them to become special forces operatives in counterterrorism,
counterinsurgency, riverine and anti-piracy operations.
Addressing the remaining 23 personnel of the force during their
graduation in Lagos, the Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) Naval Training
Command (NAVTRAC), Rear Admiral Stanford Enoch, said the personnel that
stayed and completed the training had proved their mettle and had
demonstrated that they had the mental tenacity, physical toughness and
the will consistent with special operation forces around the world.
Admiral Enoch said that the objective of the SBS training was to
build capacity to deal decisively with asymmetric threats and to
confront emergency threats towards providing the required security in
Nigeria’s maritime environment and other parts of the country.
He applauded the operative’s training, saying “every component of
your training module was carefully drawn to build you into an efficient
and coherent fighting force as well as to prepare you to face serious
duties ahead in your various navies and your nation at large.”
The FOC said that the Nigerian Navy understands the complexities and
fluid nature of the current security environment in Nigeria and the need
to develop special capabilities to address the emerging challenges.
He said that the Nigerian Navy would continue to engage in a wide
range operations in the foreseeable future, including military aid to
civil authorities, adding that these wide range operational engagement
were in furtherance of the force’s total spectrum of maritime
strategies.
Earlier the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Navy,
Honourable Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, had commended the Special Boat Services
for their demonstration of what the section can do when confronted with
serious threats.
The lawmaker said that, with what he had seen, he was convinced that
the budgetary requirement of the force needed to increased to ensure
that personnel were properly trained and made ready to defend the
country against external threats.
The House Committee Chairman said he would work to ensure that all
the navy budget was approved and ensure that funds released got to the
people who needed them.
