The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba, has commended the performance of officers and rating of Nigerian Navy ship, NNS THUNDER, at the ongoing Royal Australian International Fleet Review in Sydney.

A statement issued by Cdr Kabiru Aliyu, the Director of Navy Information, on Monday in Abuja, said that Ezeoba made the commendation when he visited Sydney in Australia to inspect the ship.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba, has commended the performance of officers and rating of Nigerian Navy ship, NNS THUNDER, at the ongoing Royal Australian International Fleet Review in Sydney.

A statement issued by Cdr Kabiru Aliyu, the Director of Navy Information, on Monday in Abuja, said that Ezeoba made the commendation when he visited Sydney in Australia to inspect the ship.

The statement noted that the naval chief had urged the officers not to relent, as the objective of their participation in the event was to make Nigeria proud.

It quoted Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Australia, Mr Ayo Olukanni, as commending President Goodluck Jonathan for the participation of the Nigerian navy ship in the event.
Olukanni said it would go a long way in correcting whatever bad impressions the Australians had about Nigerians.

The statement quoted the Chief of the Royal Australian Navy, Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, as expressing delight at the presence of NNS THUNDER, the only African ship, at the review.
Griggs said “this made the whole show a global affair.’’

The ongoing international fleet review started on Oct. 3 with 37 ships assembling at the Javis Bay for onward movement to Sydney, the venue of the historic event.

The event, which is expected to end on Oct. 11, will feature a multi-national sea exercise and other events intended to showcase the cordial relationship among global maritime forces.

In 2007, two Nigerian Navy ships; NNS ARADU and NNS OBULA, participated in an international maritime exercise at the Brazilian navy centenary celebration.
