Ogalla broke the news during a meeting of Maritime Stakeholders yesterday in Abuja. He said the vessels were handed over to the appropriate authorities.
He said the Navy had rejigged its operations and established Operation Delta Sanity in January and sustained it maritime security operations through surveillance, response capability and law enforcement in addition to collaboration with maritime stakeholders.
The CNS assured the stakeholders of the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to the fulfilment of its statutory roles to emplace a conducive maritime domain for economic prosperity of the nation.
He said the Navy was working to ensure that it’s operations do not constitute obstacles to the operators but rather contribute to them being able to perform their duties and produce optimally.
“Provision of security is part of ways of increasing promoting ease of doing business, because if there is no security, the operators cannot operate.
