The Mission Statement

The Nigerian Navy shall discharge its constitutional roles and assigned tasks in a professional and responsible manner, consistent with global best practices for the defence and protection of Nigeria’s territorial integrity”.

CORE VALUES OF THE NN

Integrity: A quality which all officers and men of the Navy must hold steadfast because the nation has entrusted its maritime security and implicitly, the lives of the citizenry to the NN. The NN shall therefore maintain the strictest integrity and uphold the confidence that the Nigerian people have reposed in it.

Professionalism: The vagaries of the maritime environment, the sophistication of naval platforms, the constraints imposed on operations under democratic directions/legal regimes and the imperatives of international norms have all combined to make naval operations more complex than ever before. This demands high professional standards by all NN personnel which shall not be compromised under any condition.

Teamwork: The complex nature of naval operations dictated by environmental factors and political cum legal imperatives makes teamwork indispensable for success. The NN shall continue to promote excellent teamwork at the various strata and with sister services as well as with cooperating agencies in line with its motto “ONWARD TOGETHER”.
