Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, His Grace, Most Reverend Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, has told the Nigerian Navy that submarines alone cannot guarantee victory over the enemies of the state.
Most Reverend Kaigama spoke during the dedication of Corpus Christi Catholic Church, under the Directorate of Chaplaincy Services (Roman Catholic), at Admiralty Estate, Asokoro, Abuja.
He said military weapons and equipment must be complemented by divine intervention and spiritual strength from Almighty God.
In his homily, the Catholic Archbishop also decried the epileptic power supply in the country.
Earlier, in his welcome address, the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, said the Nigerian Navy recognises that the strength of any fighting force lies not only in its ships, weapons and operational capabilities but also in the character, discipline, resilience and moral conviction of its personnel.
Represented by the Director of Administration, Naval Headquarters, Rear Admiral Adedokun Siyanbade, the CNS noted that while military training prepares the body and mind for battle, faith strengthens the human spirit to confront adversity with courage, integrity and hope.
