Polo helps Nigerian Navy officers build camaraderie: Chief of Naval Staff
The Chief of Naval Staff, Awwal Gambo, says the Nigerian Navy remains committed to the development of polo in Nigeria.
Mr Gambo made the promise at the maiden CNS Cup which ended late Saturday at the Lagos Polo Club, Ikoyi, Lagos.
“It is on good authority that British naval officers introduced the game of polo to Nigeria on the turf of the Lagos Polo Club.
“So, the Lagos Polo Club and the navy family have come a long way and the relationship will only get better.
“I am happy to state that the Nigerian Navy remains committed and will continue to nurture the relationship with Lagos Polo Club for our mutual benefits,” the CNS said.
He listed the benefits as “building strong communication, developing leadership skills and team work among the players.
“These attributes are quite instructive regarding the development of camaraderie needed to foster synergy and team work among personnel,” he added.
He said that the game would equally boost military-civilian relationship and help gain the support of the civilian population in pursuit of national security.
