The Provisional Committee for the Establishment of the Nigeria Coast Guard (PC-NCG) on Friday commended the Senate for advancing the Nigeria Coast Guard Establishment Bill. The committee described the presentation of the Senate Committee on Marine Transport’s report as a major milestone toward strengthening Nigeria’s maritime governance. According to the PC-NCG, the move reflects the Senate’s commitment to enacting a comprehensive law that strengthens maritime security without overlapping institutional responsibilities. The committee added that improved maritime security would unlock Nigeria’s blue economy potential by creating a safer environment for investment and economic activities. The committee expressed confidence that the remaining legislative process would be concluded without delay, paving the way for the establishment of the Nigeria Coast Guard.
