Authorities of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) have extended warm appreciation to the Nigerian Navy for the successful enforcement of the new anti-piracy law in Nigeria.
In a commendation letter to the Naval Headquarters, the Director General/Chief Executive Officer of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh noted the “commendable achievements of the Nigerian Navy in the discharge of its responsibilities on security and other related matters.”
The NIMASA boss expressed his Agency’s deep appreciation on what they called “the high level of professionalism and expertise exhibited by the Nigerian Navy in its collaborative efforts with NIMASA especially in the enforcement of Nigeria’s Suppression of Piracy and Other Maritime Offences Act, 2019.”
While assuring the Navy of NIMASA’s continuous cooperation, the Director-General who assumed office less than a year ago, further appreciated the Nigerian Navy for “keeping with its traditions and ensuring safer maritime boundaries and internal waters to the benefit of the country and the international community.”
It would be recalled that the Nigerian Navy recently secured a conviction for the first time under the new anti-piracy law of three out of nine accused persons involved in the hijack of an Equatorial Guinea flagged vessel MV ELOBEY VI off Equatorial Guinea Coast.
