ELIZABETH VINCENT, Yenagoa

The Nigerian Navy Outpost in Koluama, located in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, distributed educational materials to over 150 students at the Government Secondary School, Fishtown.

Cdr. Stephen Agwai, Commanding Officer of Naval Outpost Koluama II, stated that the initiative aims to foster cooperation between the military and the local community.

Items distributed included exercise books, calculators, mathematical sets, and other writing materials.

“This occasion is special as we gather not only to celebrate education but also to emphasize the importance of nurturing young minds and empowering future leaders,” he said.

He emphasized that education goes beyond classrooms and textbooks; it fosters curiosity, ignites passion, and opens doors of opportunity.

“As we know, education is the cornerstone of progress and development in any society. It empowers individuals, transforms communities, and creates opportunities that would otherwise remain closed. By investing in education, we invest in our nation’s future.”

Cdr. Agwai acknowledged the pivotal role education plays in national security and sustainable development.

“Through initiatives like today’s Education Rhapsody, we aim to enhance educational outcomes, promote academic excellence, and cultivate a culture of learning that transcends borders.”

He added that the Navy’s mission includes enriching the learning environment and supporting students’ educational journeys by providing teaching aids and materials to inspire them.

Additionally, he mentioned that they would discuss careers in the Armed Forces, particularly the Nigerian Navy, highlighting its role in safeguarding national waters and security.

“More importantly, we will explore how each of you can contribute to our nation’s prosperity,” he said.

The Commanding Officer concluded by reminding students that knowledge is power and comes with great responsibility.

“Each of you has the potential to make a difference not just in your own lives but in those around you and for our great nation. Let us seize this opportunity to learn, grow, and inspire one another.”

Chief Bemo Tari commended the Nigerian Navy for their generous donation of educational materials and urged other organizations to follow their example.
