The Port Facility Security Officers, PFSO, Forum of the Lagos Maritime Security Zone, MSZ, has advocated for the integration of the various maritime command control centres across the country saying that their individuality has not helped in curbing criminal activities in the nation’s coastal and territorial waters.Speaking at the 120th meeting of the Forum in Lagos, its Chairman, Dr Ignatius Uche, said the need to integrate these centres cannot be overemphasized.
According to Uche, there are about three different maritime command control centres in Lagos namely, the Nigerian Ports Authority maritime domain centre, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency maritime domain centre in Kirikiri, Lagos and the Presidential Committee On Maritime Security and Safety located at the Bar Beach in Lagos.
Uche lamented that millions of dollars invested in these maritime command control centres were wasting and prayed that the various government agencies would see the sense in collaborating with each other.He stated: “All we need to do is to have the integration of these maritime commands and control centres, there must be a synergy between all of them so that they will not only detect illegal maritime activities on our waters, they can respond to threats when they are being detected.
