Led by Senator Otunba Engr. Gbenga Daniel, the Senate Committee on Navy toured several naval formations from July 23 to 25, 2025.
A key highlight was the committee’s visit to the Nigerian Navy Secondary School and Naval Medical Centre in Borokiri—facilities that provide essential education and healthcare services to both naval families and surrounding civilians.
Senator Daniel commended these institutions for strengthening civil-military relations, citing initiatives like the 2025 Navy Week’s free medical rhapsodies, which reached over 1,500 community members.
The oversight continued at the Naval Medical Centre within NNBTS Onne, further reinforcing the Navy’s dedication to welfare services for both personnel and local populations.

The Opawole and Daniel families mourn the passing of their beloved matriarch, Chief Mrs. Sabainah Ibironke Opawole, née Osoba, who died peacefully after a brief illness on Thursday 2nd of July, 2026 at the age of 93.
Born on 23rd April 1933 to Princess Mariam Ladigbolu of the revered Ladigbolu family of Oyo Kingdom and the Late Rev. O. Osoba of Olodo Village, Abeokuta, the late Princess Sabainah lived a long and graceful life anchored in faith. She was a devoted Christian of the Baptist denomination until her passing, and her life stood as a quiet testament to devotion, family, and enduring values.
She is survived by several children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, including Her Excellency Yeye Olufunke Daniel, former First Lady of Ogun State and wife of Otunba Senator Gbenga Daniel. Her passing has drawn an outpouring of condolences from family, friends, and associates across Ogun State and beyond, many of whom remember her as a woman of grace, strength, and unshaken faith.
The family has confirmed that funeral arrangements will be announced publicly in due course, and has appealed for prayers and understanding as they navigate this period of loss.
