Nigerian Navy at 70: Army, Air Force, Police,

The Nigerian Navy celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2025, marking seven decades since its establishment in 1955 (originally as the Royal Nigerian Navy). The milestone highlighted the Navy’s growth into a modern maritime force tasked with protecting Nigeria’s extensive coastline, offshore oil assets, and maritime trade routes. It also underscored the Navy’s cooperation with the Nigerian Army, Air Force and Police in joint security operations—such as anti‑piracy patrols, counter‑terrorism missions in the Niger Delta, and disaster response—demonstrating an integrated approach to national defense and internal security.
