The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Vice Admiral Ebuk-Ete Ibas said the newly licensed Admiralty University will expand maritime education in Nigeria.

He spoke during the presentation of provisional licenses to Admiralty University and five others at the National Universities Commission (NUC) in Abuja.

He said, “For the Admiralty University, its establishment was motivated simply by the desire to expand the frontiers of education, particularly maritime education in Nigeria.”

He said it was established as a public private partnership between the Nigerian Navy investment arm, the Navy Holdings Limited and the University of Nicosia, Cyprus, through the Hellenic Educational Limited as the special purpose vehicle. 

He said the intention was to create an academic centre of excellence in maritime studies, logistics management, oil and gas technologies, environmental sciences and Research and Development capabilities for the benefit of the Nigerian Navy, sister services and the general public. 

Ibas noted that the Nigerian Navy’s effort is in line with what obtains in some other navies of the world such as the US Navy and Pakistan Navy.
