The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Navy’s dedication to adopting global best practices in forensic and investigative operations to support national development.

Speaking at the combined graduation ceremony for three courses—the Advanced Provost Officers Course, the Advanced Detective Investigation Course, and the Outriders Course—held at the Nigerian Navy Provost and Regulating School in Makurdi, Benue State, Ogalla, represented by Rear Admiral Noel Madugu, highlighted the importance of the training.

The CNS noted that the courses were designed to enhance the competencies of the officers and ratings graduating from the Provost and Regulating Department.

“As pioneers, the Nigerian Navy is proud of the milestone you have achieved as custodians of forensics and specialist investigators within the Service. Our hope is that you will build on the knowledge gained here through dedication and professionalism in your assignments, striving for greater excellence,” he said.

Ogalla further urged the graduates to uphold professionalism by continuously improving their skills and aligning with global standards in forensic and investigative practices.

Earlier, Navy Captain Henry Ejeh, Commandant of the School, detailed the rigorous 10-week training program, emphasizing its focus on instilling best practices in law enforcement within and beyond the military. He noted that the program employed diverse methods, including classroom lectures, practical demonstrations, and training attachments, to ensure the students were well-prepared for their roles.

The ceremony underscored the Navy’s unwavering commitment to excellence and its role in advancing national security through cutting-edge forensic and investigative training.
