\n

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the
\nNigeria Navy are set for a regime of improved information sharing as
\narrangements to integrate the Command, Control, Computer Communication
\nand Information Centre, otherwise known as the C4i Centre of the Deep
\nBlue Project along with the Falcon Eye of the Nigerian Navy are ongoing.<\/p>\n

This was made known when the Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) Western Naval
\nCommand, Rear Admiral Oladele Bamidele Daji led a team of senior
\nofficers from the command on a working visit to NIMASA.<\/p>\n

The Director General of NIMASA Dr. Bashir Jamoh, while stating the
\nimportance of cooperation between the Navy and NIMASA said that both
\nagencies have mandates that are interwoven adding that since NIMASA is
\nnot an arm bearing organization it was important for it to support the
\nNavy with necessary platforms for it to be able to optimally safeguard
\nNigerian Waters.<\/p>\n

According to Jamoh, “Just like we did by ensuring that our Special
\nMission Vessels are manned by men of the Nigerian Navy, we are also
\nlooking at the possibility of effectively linking the C4i center at
\nkikiriki with the Falcon Eye of the Nigerian Navy. This is to ensure
\nsafety of lives and property for safer shipping in the Nigerian maritime
\ndomain so that the maritime industry remains virile for economic
\nprosperity”<\/p>\n

Dr. Jamoh also disclosed that the Global Maritime Distress and Safety
\nSystem, GMDSS, facility at Takwa Bay will become functional very soon
\nand the facility will also enhance intelligence gathering and
\ninformation sharing with the Nigerian Navy, which has also approved the
\nestablishment of a Naval formation at Takwa Bay.<\/p>\n

Speaking on other challenges in the maritime corridor from Navy town to
\nthe Harbor in Apapa Lagos, the NIMASA DG noted that activities of
\nunapproved ship scrapping yards are a source of concern and all
\nidentified wrecks will be removed working with the hydrography
\ndepartment of the Nigerian Navy.<\/p>\n

The NIMASA DG also warned that those involved in these nefarious acts
\nwould be made to face the full wrath of the law if they fail to desist
\nfrom indiscriminate scrapping of vessels and the likes.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of the challenges wrecks, derelicts and activities of
\nillegal scrap yards pose to our waterways. We will share information
\nwith the hydrography department of the Nigerian Navy, so appropriate
\nsteps which will be in the best interest of the country will be
\nimplemented”, he said.<\/p>\n

On his part, the FOC Western Naval Command, Rear Admiral Daji applauded
\nthe already existing relationship between the Agency and the Nigerian
\nNavy and stated the need for continuous information sharing between the
\nNavy and NIMASA in order to aid daily operations towards ensuring a
\nsafer and secured maritime sector.<\/p>\n

He also corroborated the stance of the DG on zero tolerance for piracy
\non the nation’s waterways, stating that the Navy is prepared to tackle
\nthe issues head-on, for the overall good of the maritime sector.<\/p>\n

Rear Admiral Daji appealed for cooperation with the NIMASA hydrography
\nunit especially with regards to standard charting of the Nigerian waters
\nas well as mapping out the wrecks. He said this would go a long way in
\nensuring unhindered navigation.<\/p>\n

It may be recalled that at the inception of this administration, the DG,
\nDr. Jamoh and his Management team introduced a three point agenda hinged
\non Maritime Safety, Security and Shipping Development to achieve the
\nmandates of NIMASA towards sustaining a robust maritime sector.<\/p>\n

Present during the visit were the Executive Directors of the Agency and
\nvery senior officers of the Western Naval Command who accompanied the
\nFOC, West on the visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
