In the 1990s, Nigeria’s position and leadership role in the West African sub-region saw it using the instrumentality of the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group to bring peace to Liberia after about seven years of civil war that left the country severely devastated and virtually destroyed.
The framework, known as the Gulf of Guinea-Maritime Collaboration Forum/Shared Awareness De-confliction , focuses on counter-terrorism and armed robbery by bringing together regional, international, industry and non-governmental organizations partners for the purpose of advancing and coordinating near term maritime activities. The aim is to work towards having a set of common operational strategy with the objective of protecting seafarers and ships operating off West and Central Africa.
Second, there must be cooperation among stakeholders, such that would allow for openness to joint actions as occasion may demand, considering the volatility of the Gulf of Guinea maritime environment. This means being open to participation in unplanned activities and progammes whenever they become necessary, especially with the increased sophistication of crime in the region and, indeed, other parts of re world.
Fourthly, information sharing between military operators and civilian stakeholders is crucial to tackling insecurity in the Gulf of Guinea. This would work on the basis of trust between the two parties, knowing full well that they are working for the achievement of a common objective.
