“We will continue to prioritise Safety and Security on Nigerian Waters” – Jamoh 

L-R: USCG Liaison to Nigeria, Lt Cdr. Jonna Clouse; Assistant Director ISPS, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Capt. Elei Green Igbogi; Chief International Security IPS Assessment Programme, Cdr Edward Munoz (rtd); Head ISPS NIMASA and Leader of Delegation, Mr. Mudi.I.Isa; Chief Domestic and International Port Security Assessment, Cdr. Juliet Hudson (rtd); Deputy Director ISPS, Mr. Tokini karibi-whyte and USCG’s Lt Cdr Crystal Wilson during a visit by the Nigerian delegation to the United States Coast Guard headquarters in Washington DC.

Following unwavering commitment by the Nigerian government and efforts made by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, the   United States Coast Guard, has agreed on a three-year work plan  for the removal of the Condition of Entry (CoE), placed on American-bound vessels from Nigeria. 

Cdr. Juliet Hudson at the USCG headquarters in Washington DC disclosed this during a peer review visit by a delegation from NIMASA. Hudson announced a bi-annual assessment of compliance level with ISPS implementation at Nigerian Ports working with NIMASA. 

According to Cdr. Juliet “We will work with NIMASA to review the compliance level of Ports in Nigeria with the provisions of the ISPS Code. This will be done twice a year to enable us update the Port Advisory Security Portal in the White House after which a decision will be taken to completely lift the Condition of Entry. We commend NIMASA for ISPS implementation and please deliver this award to your DG,” she said.

Meanwhile, the NIMASA Director General Dr. Bashir Jamoh, OFR today received in audience, USCG Advisor, Lt. Benjamin Montz who led a delegation to NIMASA. Jamoh stated that the Agency would continue to prioritise safety and security on the Nigerian watersways in order to realise the mandate of the Blue Economy. 

While acknowledging the support from the American Government in seeing to the implementation of ISPC in Nigeria, the NIMASA DG noted that any support to Nigeria should be extended to other countries in the Gulf of Guinea.

He said that Nigeria plays a vital role in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG), hence called on the USCG to extend support to countries in the GoG region in order to consolidate the gains of the Deep Blue Project in the region, whilst also bolstering the existing ties in the region. 

 “Nigeria is a major stakeholder in the Gulf of Guinea; you will agree with me that most of the activities in the region revolves around Nigeria. “We acknowledge the support you have been giving us; we request that you extend it to other countries in the GoG, as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and all credit goes to the United States Government”. Jamoh said.

Dr. Jamoh called on the USCG to assist in the area of training the Agency’s personnel, noting that a gap analysis will be done, and then synchronise with the USCG in order to give the right training to the right personnel.  

The leader of the delegation from the USCG, Lt. Benjamin Montz disclosed that they are in Nigeria as part of their plans to support NIMASA in the area of training, while also collaborating with Agency to improve safety and security in the country’s maritime sector, with particular reference to port operations in Nigeria. 

“NIMASA as the Designated Authority, DA, is responsible for the implementation of the International Ships and Ports Security (ISPS) facility code in Nigeria and has continued to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to achieve its mandate, with the United States Coast Guard providing the required support and assistance towards the realisation of safer and more secured waterways in Nigeria, and by extension the Gulf of Guinea” Mr. Osagie Edward, FNIPR,  Assistant Director, Public Relations who double as the spokesperson of the Agency stated in a statement he signed for NIMASA
