The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Ship Management Limited (NSML) and the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the training and delivery of maritime-related courses at the Nigerian Navy Simulation Centre (NNSC) of the NDA.
At a signing ceremony at the NDA campus in Kaduna, Kaduna State, recently, the two organisations agreed to a framework to guide their technical, academic, and commercial relationships and to provide access to the NSML’s Maritime Centre of Excellence (MCOE) on Bonny Island, Rivers State.
According to the MoU, NDA will leverage the expertise, competence and knowledge of the resource personnel of the MCOE.
NLNG’s General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Andy Odeh quoted the NSML’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Abdulkadir Kere Ahmed, saying the collaboration aligned with his Company’s vision of “supporting the growth and development of the Nigerian maritime industry through knowledge transfer, skills and capacity development.”
The Commandant of NDA, Major General I.M. Yusuf, expressed willingness to take the relationship forward from the MoU signing to developing prompt and implementable essential action items for both organisations.
