Lagos, The Nigerian Navy (NN) has issued a code of conduct for the forthcoming general elections to its personnel, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
The code of conduct is issued according the directive by the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin.
A Correspondent of NAN who saw a copy of the code reports that it was aimed at educating the naval personnel on the do’s and don’ts as an officer during the elections.
The code of conduct stipulates that officers must not carry any offensive weapon to polling booths.
