NNS KADA Will Further Improve Maritime Security Around Gulf Of Guniea  – CNS

The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Adm. Awwal Gambo, on Friday said that the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) KADA would further improve security around tthe Gulf of Guniea and within Nigeria’s maritime domain.

Gambo gave the assurance during the induction of the NNS KADA into the Nigerian Navy fleet at NNS BEECROFT, Apapa, Lagos State.

The NNS KADA is a Landing Ship Tank that was built at Albwardy Damen Shipyard Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.

The CNS said that in May 2021, the Nigerian Navy welcomed the Nigerian hydrographic ship, NNS LANA, into its fleet from France and a year later, NNS KADA is being added to the fleet.

“We thank President Muhammadu Buhari for granting the necessary approvals for the acquisition of this man-of-war as well as the provision of required logistics for the home bound trip,” the CNS said.

“I am grateful to God for granting the ship and its crew a safe passage,” he said.

Gambo said that the induction of NNS KADA into the Nigerian Navy fleet would enhance deterrence capability against maritime crimes and illegalities within the nation’s maritime domain and around the Gulf of Guniea.

“Furthermore, the vessel will seve as a port multiplier to project power, respond to humanitarian crises and convey relief materials in support of non-kinetic operations within the region and beyond.

“This is another great feat for the Nigerian Navy recapitalisation effort beacuse NNS KADA will boost the navy’s capability in support of the ECOWAS mandate,” he said.

The CNS said that NNS KADA would also help in humanitarian relief services which could be rendered by the Nigerian Navy to assist in the sea lift of our troops and those of their sister agencies.

“When operating with the Army and the Airforce, we have the helicopter landing deck which will enhance our operations.

“This landing ship tank, ideally, comes in pairs and efforts are already in progress by the government to provide a sister for this edifice which will further support our operations,” he said.

Gambo also said that the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) had in 2021 delisted Nigeria from piracy prone countries.

He said: “Maritime crimes are planned on land and executed at sea so with the collective efforts of our regional navies, it will assist in further curbing piracy.

“Therefore, we must continue to sustain efforts to maintain the feat so far achieved because would-be maritime criminals will continue to restrategise in performing their crimes.

“We also are on top of our game with regional partners and other stakeholders such as the Nigerian Maritime Safety Agency (NIMASA), the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) among others toward curbing crimes in our waters.”

Also, a former CNS, retired Vice Adm. Dele Ezeoba, said that it was necessary for the government to understand the importance of sustaining such a credible platform.

“This is currently the biggest Landing Ship Tank (LST) in the whole of Africa and global best practices demand that at least, 40 percent of the cost of the ship be made available for yearly maintenance.

“This has to be appropriated by the National Assembly otherwise we will have a challenge in terms of sustaining and maintaining this very laudable platform,” he said.

Ezeoba said that another area of importance for maintenance consideration was the consumption of the Automative Gas Oil (AGO) required to drive the ship.

“The ship requires about 360,000 litres of AGO to sail for about two weeks so, the government needs to ensure that they provide these enablers to allow the navy discharge its mandate as it should,” he said.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
