Experts divided over new security efforts on Nigerian waters The Punch Published 24 June 2021 Maritime experts have expressed divergent expectations on the outcome of the recently deployed security assets by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency on Nigeria’s exclusive economic zone on the Gulf of Guinea. While some believe that the deployment of NIMASA’s $195m assets would have a devastating effect on the inland waters, others described it as a welcome development. The President of the Nigerian Institute of Shipping, Capt. Anthony Onoharigho, commended the security of the exclusive economic zone, but expressed grave concerns over the outcome “if commensurate effort is not made to secure the inland waters.”
