 Canadian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Kevin Choker, and the Canadian Navy say they are happy to partner Nigeria in patrolling our waters for safety measures and security. This cooperation is particularly necessary in the Gulf of Guinea to achieve common goals. This was part of the deliberations during their visit to the Western Devil Command headquarters. They were on a curtsy visit to a flag officer commanding Red Admiral Yakubo Wambai. Plastic Africa's defense correspondent Destiny Momo Hasmo. This visit of the Canadian Navy to the Western Devil Command was auspicious, as it marks 60 years of close relations which began in 1962. They will also patrol our waters and partner the Nigerian Navy in conducting exercise obangame process. The Canadian High Commissioner and Canadian Naval Commander spoke on this mission to Nigeria. They are in the region to participate in the exercise Obangame Express alongside the Nigerian Navy and regional and international partners. And the purpose of the exercise is to strengthen cooperation in order to improve maritime safety and security in the Gulf of Guinea, where Nigeria plays a key leadership role. I think the value of these operations, these exercises, is to improve communication between naval allies, naval partners, so that we can better work together, so that we can share lessons learned and really build a stronger foundation for addressing some of those peace and security challenges that we face. The journey and the Papas being greeted by a large contingent of the Nigerian Navy personnel, and then being treated to O Canada played by the Nigerian Navy Band was a special treat. This is our third visit, our third stop, and our deployment so far to West Africa, and by far this is the warmest and most elaborate welcome we've received. So I'm very pleased to be here in Lagos, Nigeria with my counterparts in HMCS Monkton and our task force of 90 sailors in the two ships. The flag officer command in Western Naval Command spoke on the reimportance of these Navy to Navy and nation to nation exercise. So the visit today is for us to foster that relationship that has been existing in the past 60 years and to see how we can take it to better levels. We've been existing and cooperating together. Have we done well? It's a yes. Can we do better? It's another yes. And that's why they are here. We'll continue to interact with them, the defense attache here, and its excellency, the High Commissioner, we'll continue to interact and see how our Navy's can get the best out of each other. The cut-see visit did not come to an end without the usual practice of gift exchange. This visit is from 25th to 28th February as an Andean Navy plant and having more Navy to Navy trainings and interactions. Once the Seasers save, it brings about enhanced economies among nations.
