Nigeria - Haruna Jauro, the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), has said piracy around Lagos waters is reducing
According to him, the deal between the agency and the Global West Vessels Specialists Limited, allegedly belonging to former Niger-Delta war-lord, Tompolo, did not in any way encroach on the constitutional duties of the Nigerian Navy to protect the nation's maritime coast.
"What Global West is doing is just to help NIMASA to look a the issue of that takes place in the waters, to push them back and I think we have done our best with them. So far the level of piracy has reduced in the Lagos area.
“We don’t have much reports of them again and they have been pushed towards the Delta area and we have been following them. And I think Global West has been instrumental to that so far.
He disclosed that maritime agency's deal with Global West had been running for three years now out of the 10-year period covered by the contractual agreement.
