Check out the significance of various Nigerian Navy uniforms

The director of Naval Information of the Nigerian Navy, Commodore Chris Ezekobe, on Friday visited Legit.ng's Abuja office on a tour of media houses. 

Ezekobe discussed the role of the Navy in Nigeria, especially in relation to other security agencies. He also praised Legit.ng for its consistency in informing Nigerians through its coverage of national and international events.

The naval boss also took time to explain the various uniforms worn by the Navy. Have you wondered why the Navy wears white? Ezekobe, however, said it was not something he had ever questioned. Still he gave reasons why the Navy wears different uniforms for different occasions and the significance of the colours.
