A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Political Science, University of Nigeria, Freedom Onuoha, has identified likely pitfalls that the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency must avoid for a successful execution of the $195m Deep Blue Project.
“These mistakes include an overtly militarised response to threat; negligence of the driving or enabling factors of criminality; dearth of accountability mechanisms in response initiatives; and poor appreciation of the dynamics of the wider criminal space,” he said. According to Onuoha, much of the problem stems from state corruption, declining job opportunities, hollow maritime security forces, and weak law enforcement.
He said, “A related factor is the inter-agency rivalry, which has undermined multi-agency interventions during successive administrations. The multi-agency nature of the new project holds great promise.
