The land assets include the Command, Control, Communication, Computer, and Intelligence Centre for intelligence gathering and data collection. Also included are 16 armoured vehicles for coastal patrol and 600 specially-trained troops for Maritime Security Unit to carry out interdiction.
NIMASA Director-General Bashir Jamoh, who made this known in a statement issued in Lagos, said the additional equipment would improve on the gains recorded in securing the Gulf of Guinea; further check piracy and other maritime crimes and generally secure the Nigerian maritime domain. He also described the recently-held Gulf of Guinea Maritime Collaboration Forum in Abuja as a success in rallying international support in the suppression of maritime insecurity.
Jamoh however assured that Nigeria’s commitment to regional maritime security would always be sustained.
