Fellow Nigerian-born U.S. Navy officer Victor Agunbiade shared the news on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday. Expressing his joy, Agunbiade wrote, “I celebrate this rare milestone achievement, brother.”

He continued: “Big congratulations to my brother CDR Olufokunbi Matuwo—another Nigeria-born US Navy Commander takes the helm of USS OAK HILL (LSD 51). He is the third Nigeria-born to Command US Navy warship. Proud of you brother!!!

“This is an extraordinary milestone and chapter in your professional career brother! Wishing you the very best of this Command at Sea tour,”
Agunbiade added.
