Nigerian Navy to Commission Two New Seaward Defence Boats for Maritime Security
The Nigerian Navy will enhance its operational capacity with the commissioning of two Seaward Defence Boats. This acquisition aims to improve maritime surveillance and response capabilities in response to rising maritime threats.

The Nigerian Navy is set to commission two newly acquired Seaward Defence Boats next week, enhancing its maritime security capabilities. Procured under President Bola Tinubu's administration, these 12-metre boats aim to modernize the Navy's fleet and address security threats like piracy and illegal fishing.
The commissioning ceremony, officiated by Vice President Kashim Shettima, will integrate these vessels into active service. This investment reflects the government's commitment to operational readiness and aims to secure offshore oil installations and critical national assets, potentially boosting the blue economy by fostering a safer trade environment.
