The outgoing Flag Officer Commanding (FOC), Eastern Naval Command, Rear Adm. S.K. Ibrahim says the Nigerian Navy will continue to provide adequate security to Critical National Assets (CNA) in the Niger Delta.
The Navy said it would ensure increased economic development of the area for the overall benefit of the people and investors.
Mr. Ibrahim commended Green Energy for the consistent focus on securing the area of operation in Andoni and recalled the construction of the Navy barracks in Ikuru town.
He said that the mini barracks would provide more accommodation and facilities to the navy staff the in performance of their duties.
He also called on other companies in the area to emulate the oil and gas company. In his remarks, the CEO of Green Energy International Ltd. (GEIL) Adegbulugbe said the building of the mini barracks was part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Adegbulugbe said it would help the performance of the Nigerian Navy, and that the project was a follow up to the building of the Navy facility and barracks in Ikuru town in Andoni community in 2015.
The facility consists of six rooms, a security post and an observation tower, a kitchen, a store and office complex.
The donations were made in the light of the company’s mandate to create a localised domestic market based on small scale gas opportunities in Nigeria and Africa.
He further said that with the plans to expand the operations of the company, the Government Security Forces (GSF) should enhance its security network in the area.
