The military cooperation between Nigeria and France remains intact, according to the Flag Officer Commanding, Western Naval Command, Rear Admiral Ferguson Bobai.
He made the affirmation while receiving a 90- man crew on board French ship Commandant L’ hermimier on a diplomatic mission to the country.
The ship berthed at the Naval Dockyard in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The 2-day visit would afford the French Navy a platform for exchange of strategic sessions with the Nigerian counterparts.

Rear Admiral Ferguson Bobai said: “We are going to take the opportunity of their visit to engage them in training some of our personnel in some agreed areas where they have the capacity to do so.
