About Nigerian Naval Engineering College Sapele, Delta State This is the profile page of Nigerian Naval Engineering College Sapele, Delta State. This page contains the email, contact phone number, address, website and other contact information of the College.

Founded in 1982, NNEC was established to produce technical manpower in sufficient number and right quality to meet the engineering requirements of the Nigerian Navy (NN). As part of the Navy’s efforts to localize overseas training, the NN established the Nigerian Navy Technical Training Centre (NNTTC) at a temporary site in Port Harcourt in 1982.

The British training organization, International Military Service (IMS), provided technical support for the training. However, following the acquisition of the former Sapele Port by the NN in September 1985, the NNTTC was relocated to its present site and commissioned as NNS URHIAPELE on May 1986. Messrs Dornier of Germany later replaced IMS as the technical partner of the College. When Dornier finally disengaged in 2000, Training became wholly indigenous. The Base was renamed NNEC Sapele in 2003.
