Proposed Uzo-Uwani Naval Base Will Check Crimes, Spur Economy— Nsukka Professionals

The leadership of Enugu North Professionals for Good Governance, Monday, commended the chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, over his recent promise to establish an Operational Base of the Nigerian Navy at the Ogurugu Seaport in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Emmanuel Ikechukwu Jonathan, the group’s president, told THE WHISTLER that the planned seaport “shows that the naval boss is in tune with the age-long pains of Nsukka people as a result of the high rate of insecurity in that area, that has crippled economic and agricultural activities of the people.”
