The Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, MON, this week on Sunday, 1 June 2025, graced the Nigerian Navy’s 69th Anniversary Ceremonial Sunset Dinner as the Special Guest of Honour. The event was held at the Naval Dockyard Limited, Victoria Island, Lagos.

 

The occasion marked a significant milestone in the history of the Nigerian Navy, commemorating nearly seven decades of resolute service in safeguarding Nigeria’s maritime domain, supporting internal security, and contributing to regional stability in the Gulf of Guinea and beyond.

 

In his remarks, Dr. Matawalle lauded the Nigerian Navy for maintaining a high state of combat and strategic readiness despite the increasingly complex security environment in Nigeria’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and across the wider maritime theatre. He described the Navy as “a strategic instrument of national power projection, maritime interdiction, and critical infrastructure protection,” emphasizing its vital role in defending Nigeria’s hydrocarbon assets, sea lines of communication, and territorial waters.

 

The Minister stressed that maritime security is central—not peripheral—to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that a safe and secure maritime environment underpins Nigeria’s broader economic aspirations. “To invest in the Navy’s capacity is to reinforce the foundational bedrock of national progress. The security of our maritime domain is non-negotiable,” he declared.

 

Dr. Matawalle also commended the Nigerian Navy for its impressive operational successes in combating piracy, oil theft, sea robbery, and illegal bunkering within Nigeria’s maritime corridor. He attributed these gains to the Navy’s sustained forward deployments, intelligence-led patrols, and precision interdiction missions. He further applauded the Navy’s collaboration with domestic and international security and intelligence agencies, which has yielded enhanced maritime governance and restored confidence in Nigeria’s offshore and coastal waters.

 

A key highlight of the evening was the official unveiling of the Nigerian Navy Special Operations Command (NNSOC) logo by the Honourable Minister. The newly established Command is envisioned as a rapid deployment force with elite special operations capabilities, tailored to execute land-based missions in support of internal security operations. This strategic initiative forms part of the Navy’s ongoing force restructuring effort, aimed at responding effectively to Nigeria’s dynamic and multi-dimensional security threats.

 

In addition, the Honourable Minister unveiled the official Nigerian Navy 70th Anniversary Logo, kicking off a 12-month countdown to the Navy’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations scheduled for June 2026. He described the forthcoming milestone as a time for national reflection, strategic recalibration, and renewed commitment to maritime excellence and continental leadership.

 

Addressing officers, ratings, and civilian staff of the Nigerian Navy, Dr. Matawalle stated that “The expectations of the nation are immense. Let your discipline remain unshaken. Let your resolve be unbreakable. The Federal Government stands firmly with you and will continue to provide the tools of war, platforms of deterrence, and technologies of dominance.”

 

He urged all personnel to remain guided by the enduring values of service, honour, and fidelity to the nation, noting that these are the hallmarks of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

 

The Minister paid tribute to the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, for his visionary leadership, institutional reforms, and steadfast commitment to enhancing fleet readiness, improving personnel welfare, and strengthening joint operational integration.

 

Dr. Matawalle concluded by reaffirming the unwavering support of the President Tinubu administration for the Nigerian Navy’s evolving strategic vision, posture, and capability expansion.
