President Buhari will inaugurate a made-in-Nigeria seaward defence boat in December 2021.
Awwal Gambo, chief of naval staff, said his visit to the presidential villa, yesterday, was to officially invite the president to launch the indigenously built boat.
The boat is one of three being built by the Nigerian navy dockyard staff in Lagos.
The naval chief said the boat “will add to the set of vessels that we have for the protection of the Nigerian maritime territory against piracy, sea robbery, illegal bunkering and all other maritime crimes”.
Responding, President Buhari said completing the boat is an achievement the nation should be proud of.
“It prides us as a nation that we can build something from the scratch to finish, by our own shipyard. So, it is a thing of pride to us,” the president said.
Gambo who declined to mention the cost of building the boat said it is cost-effective.
