The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), has said that the deal between the agency and the Global West Vessels Specialists Limited, allegedly owned former Niger-Delta war-lord, Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a Tompolo is still valid.
According to THIS DAY, Director-General of NIMASA, Mr. Haruna Jauro, stated this on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, at Naval Headquarters, Abuja. He said the contract with Global West was not an attempt by the agency to hijack the functions of the Navy.
''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. It (the contract) is supposed to be for ten years. It has run for three years."
