Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) Naval Training Command (NAVTRAC), Rear Admiral Stanfford Enoch, has urged the command’s personnel to remain dedicated to their duty and uphold the integrity of defending, protecting and building a great society.
He urged them to always remember that NAVTRAC is the citadel of training and discipline for the navy and reflect this in their conducts.
Enoch spoke at a regimental dinner to celebrate the command’s achievements in the outgoing year.
The regimental dinner is an event where participants observe strict table etiquette, avoid across-table discussions and drop their cutlery the same time as the special guest.
It is an age-long military tradition that promotes core values of the Armed Forces.
Enoch said: “You must realise that you have been carefully selected as competent workmen and women to mould the finest blocks with which to build a navy to be proud of,” Enoch said.
The special guest at the dinner, Rear Admiral Peter Adeniyi (retd.), emphasised the need for military personnel to be alert and responsive to duty.
“The regimental dinner is one of the military ceremonies that demonstrate the virtues of the army as an enviable institution. These are team spirit and team work, cooperation, articulation and precision,” he said.
Adeniyi described the command as the foundation where human resources of the Nigerian Navy are prepared to build the organisation.
“Although there are challenges and limitations, but I also know that the Chief of Naval Staff is unrelenting in providing the infrastructure and enabling environment for youths to work,” he added.
