FOC, Rear Admiral Oladele Daji said the sea exercise preceded inspection of units and formations ashore aimed at vetting the overall operational preparedness of the command.

“We went round all the units under the WNC from Badagry, Lagos, Imeri, and we capped it up with the inspection of the ships at sea,” he said.
