The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, has said that a “spiritual solution” is part of what Nigeria needs to overcome the growing wave of insecurity across the country.
Ogalla made the remark at Navy Town, Asokoro, Abuja, while commissioning three newly completed places of worship as part of activities marking the 69th anniversary of the Nigerian Navy.
Addressing officers, personnel, and guests, the Naval Chief emphasised the role of spiritual fortitude in combating national threats such as insurgency and terrorism, Ogalla said;
“We recognise that the challenges of insurgency, terrorism, and other forms of irregular threats that are facing us today are challenges that require a whole of society approach,”
“So, while we look for the military solutions, we also believe that the spiritual solution is part of what we need to be able to surmount them,”
