Rear Adm. Azubuike Ajuonu, Flag Officer Commanding (FOC), Naval Training Command (NAVTRAC) in Lagos on Sunday says the Nigerian Navy has shifted patrol from traditional deep sea, to brown water, to tackle increasing crude oil theft.

"Equally, we have also been called upon to participate in internal security operations in parts of the country with security challenges," he said.

He said efforts had been intensified in the training of personnel to enhance their capacity to function effectively in view of the present day challenges.

"We are all aware of the security challenges facing the country, particularly the illegalities within our maritime environment. These challenges demand high state of discipline, loyalty and professionalism.

"As trainers, we must be seen to be on top of these values, Hence, we must not relent in our strides towards producing a pool of well-trained and highly proficient personnel," he said.

He called on naval personnel, to be loyal to constituted civil authorities, adding that the service should strive to steer the course of honour, selfless service and dedication.
