A strategic reshuffle sees the US Naval War College alumnus step into the spotlight as the voice of the Nigerian Navy.

The Nigerian Navy has announced a strategic changing of the guard at its Directorate of Information, appointing Captain Abiodun Abidemi Folorunsho as the new spokesperson to steer the force's narrative in increasingly turbulent waters.
Captain Folorunsho succeeds Commodore Aiwuyor Adams-Aliu, who has been redeployed to command the NNS BEECROFT, the Navy’s premier operational base in Lagos. The handover marks a shift towards a more intellectual and strategic approach to naval communications, given Folorunsho’s formidable academic pedigree in war studies.
The new Director of Information is not just a seaman; he is a scholar of modern warfare. A graduate of the prestigious United States Naval War College, Folorunsho holds a Master of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies. His CV reads like a blueprint for a modern military thinker:
The outgoing spokesperson, Commodore Adams-Aliu, leaves behind a legacy of robust engagement. His redeployment to NNS BEECROFT is a testament to the Navy’s "command track," moving effective communicators back to operational command. NNS BEECROFT is critical to the security of Lagos’s maritime domain.
Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, the Chief of Naval Staff, approved the appointment as part of a routine reshuffle aimed at reinvigorating the service. For Captain Folorunsho, the task is clear: to maintain public confidence in the Navy while the fleet confronts the syndicates bleeding the nation’s economy dry.
As he steps into the role, the media and the public will be watching to see if the scholar can navigate the stormy seas of public opinion as effectively as he navigates the oceans. "Fair winds and following seas," as they say in the service.
