The Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, on Wednesday commissioned official accommodation for senior officers of the Account and Budget branch at Tamandu Barracks, Apapa, Lagos State.
The newly completed and fully furnished facility comprises five units of three-bedroom duplexes, designed to serve as official residences for the branch’s senior officers.
The Navy, in a statement, said “This project marks a significant milestone in addressing the welfare needs of naval personnel.”
In his remark during the commissioning ceremony, the CNS commended the Chief of Accounts and Budget for the successful execution of the project. He described the edifice as a testament to the Navy’s commitment to improving personnel welfare and living standards. He further emphasized the importance of such initiatives in fostering a productive and motivated workforce.
Vice Admiral Ogalla urged the officers to redouble their efforts and maintain a conducive and professional environment.
He reminded them that “to whom much is given, much is expected,” as he encouraged them to maintain the accommodation as their own, and not just merely as government property.
The CNS officially handed over the facility to the Chief of Accounts and Budget, expressing confidence that the officers would put it to good use.
