Said he, “The Nigerian Navy is an offshoot of the Royal Navy and he is also here to see by himself the progress being made with the cooperative support the royal navy has been giving Nigeria.”

The Head of the Commonwealth and his entourage had earlier arrived Lagos State aboard a B737 aircraft with Registration Number CS-TFY, which landed at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport at 12.08 p.m.
