NIMASA DG, Defense Chief Explore National Security Strategies

 

In a bid to sustain the current peace in the Nigerian maritime domain and the entire Gulf of Guinea (GoG), Nigerian Maritme Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the nation’s Chief of Defense Staff recently discussed viable strategies.

The Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh pushed for this deliberations when he visited the Defence Headquarters in Abuja where he discussed issues of national security with the Chief of Defense Staff, General Lucky Irabor.

According to the NIMASA boss, the removal of War Risk Insurance Premium on Nigerian-bound vessels and their cargoes is premised on the sustained security of merchant shipping in Nigerian Waters and the greater Gulf of Guinea region.

“We must continue this collaboration to ensure that the gains in recent times regarding the reduction of piracy results in the removal of war risk insurance premium,” Dr. Jamoh said.
