President buhari inaugurated indigenous built naval ship

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, on Thursday in Lagos inaugurated a Seaward Defence boat (SDB) III built by the Nigerian Navy.

The indigenously constructed SDB, NNS Oji, is the third in its series to be locally built at the Naval Dockyard Limited, Lagos, solely by Naval Engineers following the successes recorded after NNS Adoni and NNS Karaduwa, inaugurated in 2016 by Mr Buhari.

Speaking at the event, which also marked the inauguration of some recently acquired platforms and the keel-laying ceremony for the construction of Boat-IV and Boat-V, President Buhari said the new inductions to the Naval fleet would boost their capabilities in securing Nigeria’s territorial waters and maritime domain.
