The World Scholarship Forum has gathered the vital information you need regarding the Nigerian Navy Command. This information includes the Nigerian Navy recruitment, qualifications, portal, recruitment exams, courses, ranking, and more.

More About The Nigerian Navy

The Nigerian Navy is a branch of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. They handle the protection of Nigeria and its borders. Also, it is one of the largest navies in the African continent and has several thousand members, including those of the Coast Guard.

The origin of the Nigerian Navy dates back to the Marine Department of the Royal Navy, established in 1887 as a quasi-military organization, which combined the tasks of the current Nigerian Port Authority (NPA), the Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority and the Nigerian Navy.

In July 1959, the Nigerian Naval Force was transformed into a full-fledged Navy with the permission of Queen Elizabeth II to use the title ‘Royal Nigerian Navy.’ In 1963 after Nigeria became a republic, it changed the title to the ‘Nigerian Navy.’

Furthermore, the constitutional task of the Navy was expanded in 1964 after the repeal of the 1958 Ordinance.

The Nigerian Navy has a command structure which comprises the following:

  • The Naval Headquarters which is at Abuja.
  • It has three operational commands: the Western Naval Command, with headquarters at Lagos; the Eastern Naval Command, with headquarters at Calabar; and the Central Naval Command, with headquarters at Bayelsa.
  • The training command’s headquarters at Lagos, with other training facilities spread across Nigeria.
  • Five forward operational bases.
  • Five operational bases.
  • Two dockyards in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
  • Two fleets based in Calabar and Lagos.
