The Western Naval Command (WNC) of the Nigerian Navy (NN) successfully hosted a Combined Sea Exercise, 16 nautical miles South-West of Lagos Fairway Buoy.
Enugu Reporters reports that this multinational exercise which took place on 27 May 2023, brought together four navies: the Nigerian Navy (NNS KANO), the Brazilian Navy (BNS APA), the Italian Navy (ITS BETTICA), and the Spanish Navy (SP FUROR).
The exercise, which was a rehearsal for the forthcoming Regional Maritime Exercise (REMEX), commenced at 1230 and concluded at 1330. The participating navies conducted PASSEX Form 1 and Form D exercises, demonstrating their readiness and cooperation in promoting maritime security in the region.
