Senator Daniel praises Nigerian Navy community outreach in Rivers, highlighting education, healthcare efforts and Senate support during committee oversight visit
Nigerian Navy community outreach took center stage during a recent Senate Committee oversight visit to Rivers State, earning praise for its impact beyond maritime security.
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.
Acknowledging the Navy’s societal contributions, Senator Daniel pledged legislative backing to sustain and expand these welfare programs—positioning the Nigerian Navy community outreach as a model for security institutions nationwide.
