Japanese government earmarks $260,000 to combat piracy, kidnapping

The UN Development Programme Team Lead on Governance, Peace and Security, Mr Matthew Alao, said this on Monday at the inauguration ceremony of a two-week anti-piracy first course organised by the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Centre in Jaji, Kaduna.

“These pirate activities pose serious threats to trades and businesses along the corridor and retard the economies of the GoG countries particularly Nigeria. “This is equally helping to strengthen the capabilities of MLAILPKC and expand its mandate to conduct courses on anti-piracy thereby assisting to reduce the influence of piracy in GoG.

He also commended the commandant of the Centre, and his predecessor, Maj-Gen James Ataguba for providing the right leadership and direction required for the effective and timely implementation of the project. ” The project also falls under the category of “Support for stabilization of regions facing conflicts” which is one of the three main areas of Japan’s “New Approach to Peace and Stability in Africa”, the so-called “NAPSA” initiatives announced in 2019.

“Japan and Nigeria are far apart, but we are connected by sea, therefore as a true friend of Nigeria, it can be said that Nigeria’s matter is Japan’s matter,” Kazuyoshi said.
