Nigeria records five months zero piracy on territorial waters

Nigeria has reported five straight months of zero attack by pirates and sea robbers on the nation’s waterways.

Speaking recently during the 2022 World Hydrography Day celebration in Lagos, the Minister of State for Transportation, Gbemisola Saraki, explained that the nation was in a celebratory mood because it had been able to combat piracy and crimes at sea within the Gulf of Guinea and its territorial waters.

Saraki said that this was the first time in 28 years that there had been no attack on the nation’s territorial waters, noting that the feat was duly recognised by the International Maritime Bureau.

“Today makes it five months of zero attack on our waterways. This is the first time in 28 years that there has been no attack. This is a feat duly recognised by the IMB. I therefore congratulate the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Transportation, the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.”
