What is the process for naming Naval Ships in other countries?
It is important to consider this angle because those who recommended the recent changes in Nigeria are all former Army Officers assuming the idea originated at committee level. There was no Naval or ex-Naval member of the committee. The Chiefs of Naval and Defence Staff, (both of whom were Naval Officers at the time) probably had an opportunity to make input. This could have been to the Committee or at Defence Council level, assuming it was actually discussed in that setting and that they had a free hand to do so once the preferences of their political masters became known. However, as noted by a reader, there was no representation of the south-south coastal minority states at committee or ministerial level. Lastly, there was no publicized parliamentary input in the process and the general public had no opportunity to make contributions at formal hearings or by invitation. The latter oversight, in my opinion, was an error because it denied the MOD an opportunity to get buy-in at a time
