Get to know about the Nigerian Navy.

Following the end of the Second World War in 1945, nationalist members of the Royal Navy’s Marine Department put a proposal forward to establish the NPA.

At first, parliament members from the Royal Navy (colonial masters) were resistant because they believed it was their job to protect Nigerians.

But thanks to Mr. LL Olakunle’s persistence, the colonial administration gave the go-ahead for the Nigerian Naval Defence Force in 1956.

Today, we call it the Nigerian Navy.
