The Akwa Ibom state governor, Mr. Umo Eno, weekendcongratulated the 54 sailors who graduated from the Nigerian Navy Military School (NNMS) on their resilience and the successful completion of their six years of academic programme. Similarly, the governor commended the productive engagements in educational development between the Nigerian Navy and the Akwa Ibom state government and has promised to continue sustaining the partnership. Eno stated this during the graduation and passing out ceremonies of the 1st batch of graduating students, Nigerian Navy Military School, Ikot Ntuen in Oruk Anam LGA, Akwa Ibom state. The governor stated that the Navy Military School, in just six years of existence has grown in leaps and bounds to become the most sought-after Navy Secondary School in the country, and ascribed the feat to the quality of personnel, ambiance of the institution, academic performance and the drills which he described as spectacular. “We have also seen the outstanding work that they have done. I have had conversations with the commandant of the school and he is doing extremely well with his teaching staff and we will be celebrating the commandant and the teaching staff. “We have also been told that they need staff quarters to bring in all of their staff. The government of Akwa Ibom state is donating one story building block to support them. “The Akwa Ibom government has contributed in the past and I am told we have done about eight buildings including the laboratories, hostels, halls, and pipe-borne water. We will continue to support what we have seen here today.” The governor made a case for the introduction of some elements of military training in the state conventional schools to instill discipline in the students and directed the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Idongesit Etiebet, to make available N250,000 to each of the best-graduating students
