Nigerian Navy Takes Delta By Storm With High-Energy Fitness Operation

The Nigerian Navy Headquarters Logistics Command in Oghara, Delta State has carried out a 7.5-kilometre physical fitness march involving naval officers and personnel from various units under its command.

Officers and personnel from the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Fire Service, and serving corps members in Oghara and its surrounding areas also took part in the exercise.

The second-quarter 7.5-kilometre physical fitness march, held on Monday, was led by the Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) Logistics Command, Rear Admiral Oluwole Fadeyi.

The exercise began at around 6:00 a.m. and concluded by 7:45 a.m., followed by the Colours ceremony at 8:00 a.m., and was rounded off with light refreshments for participants before their departure.

The organisers described the march as smooth and incident-free. Participants were accompanied throughout by a military band, which played morale-boosting tunes to energise the atmosphere.

In his closing remarks, Rear Admiral Fadeyi stated that the fitness exercise was designed to promote synergy and esprit de corps among the various security agencies, while also ensuring the troops maintain a high level of readiness to carry out their constitutional responsibilities — particularly the protection of lives and property within the host communities.

He further commended personnel from sister services and other agencies for their enthusiastic participation and strong display of unity and cooperation.
