The
Nigerian Navy on Saturday in Abuja conducted its quarterly 10-kilometre
route march for officers and ratings aimed at ensuring they are
physically fit to discharge their constitutional responsibilities.
The naval officers and ratings marched from the Mogadishu Cantonment at Asokoro to Niger Barracks and back to the cantonment.
Speaking
at the event, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Adm. Usman Jubrin,
stressed the need for officers and ratings to be physically fit if they
are to be at their best.
Represented by Rear Adm. Joe Aikhomu,
the Nigeria Navy’s Chief of Administration, Jubrin said: “The benefit of
the exercise cannot be over-emphasised as it is meant to keep fit and
to be healthy.
“We have done this exercise, which is a
10-kilometre walk, and I am very happy with the fact that we all had
shown that we are fit and healthy.
“It means that the job of the navy will be carried out very well”, he said.
On
his part, Director of Sports, Nigerian Navy, Commodore Omatseye
Niesiama, said the Chief of Naval Staff had re-invigorate physical
fitness in the navy.
According to him, a military officer should also be mentally alert and psychologically stable.
“And
these three factors are put together in this exercise so as to test our
mental alertness, physical fitness and psychologically preparation.
“Everybody who participated in the exercise completed the exercise and it is a good sign”.
