In a statement by the Commander, Command Information Officer, Western Naval Command, Edward Yeibo, he said during the reception of NNS KADA, Amb John James was filled with joy in receiving a vessel of such magnitude in Guinea Bissau.

He added that Amb John James expressed appreciation that the arrival of NNS KADA to Guinea Bissau was a strong indication that Nigeria is very much concerned in the wellbeing of her counterparts in ECOWAS and Africa as whole.

He reiterated that “it does not matter whether Nigeria as a Nation has problems or not, we should always be there for our ECOWAS counterparts.”

He therefore charged the Nigerian Contingents in Guinea Bissau to ensure that the delivered military hardware was used for the supportive roles which it was meant for.”

NNS Kada's core mission is to load and transport cargo, helicopters, vehicles of all types, and troops to a combat area.
