Including the Philippines, Cameroonian and some western countries. This one issue Somalia is facing which led to pirates attacking foreign vessels. Govt should invest on the maritime.

Nigeria leaders are crazy, why is Russia not fishing in her own waters and I am sure this people preserved their own water to come down to Africa to fish. They're fishing in your waters to export back to you idiots

That's just another way to loot and share money

Maybe but it's a valid request considering the amount of money being lost. Most people here are too dumb to know these reports are valid. They didn't just pull this excuse out of their hats.

You didn't read UN report on this. It's a well known fact they do. Lol speak on topics you know.

The same government complaining gave out licences for them to fish in our waters. They fish in our waters and export same to us at a high cost
Our Govt. said the country doesn't have the resources to acquire fishing vessels. 

They didnt give them licenses or else itouldn't be call illegal unreported unregulated fishing.

They should make gaining credit easier for people to accrue those vessels. That wouldn't hurt. I think they just sell it their country with higher demand. If they do sell it back they just use neighboring country port then fish goes through land border.

Pavore9:
The marine police and the navy are more interested in oil bunkerers.

They probably are. Bunkering cost the government more according to them.

Ibas said that spending more on the Nigerian Navy would save the country $4.4 billion from oil theft, $1 billion from illegal fishing and additional $6.70 billion from general insecurity annually.

There is the need to urgently commercialize the private security sector. Marine companies should be able to enagage localized security companies for protection while the government policies the defined areas. How can we deploy police men to oil plate forms,if we can create agencies anyway we want then there should be no difficulty creating a marine corps developed to man these while navy serves as backup. it makes no sense deploying military for specialised duties

Where is their proof? How many fishing boats does Nigeria own? And how functional are they? How many fishing boats does the Russians and Chinese bring to fish? Do their fishing boats empty the whole of the territorial areas of fish?

Where are the facts?

Read. It's not educating enough. Blames corruption. Talks of Security. Are they implying that the chinese and Russians finish the fish in the water?

Doesn't answer my question on how many fishing boats we have in this country.

It's hard to find the information that isn't old. The government doesn't seem to publish that data often. From what I know most Nigerian fishers operate with wooden canoes.

The total number of vessels licensed for fishing in Nigeria was 235 in year 2005, 202 in 2006 and 201 in 2007. In 2007 only one was licensed to fish in the EEZ and it is yet to start. There is no information on vessels fishing either in the closed areas (nontrawling zone), fishing with illegal gear or fishing illegal species.

Link
Much of the illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing that goes on in West African waters is at the hands of Chinese vessels. Chinese companies have expanded operations in the region from 13 vessels in 1985 to 462 in 2013

Moderndiplomacy
Of 30 shipping companies registered in Nigeria in 2006 only five are still afloat. Captain Lube, a tall, scar-faced captain, says he is afraid to take his ship far from the shore.

How can a country with large population can't control its territorial waters? Nobody is even talking about Environmental Resources Management?
Why? Over dependence on oil.
The same government complaining gave out licences for them to fish in our waters. They fish in our waters and export same to us at a high cost
Our Govt. said the country doesn't have the resources to acquire fishing vessels.
The so called "whites" empty the toxic wastes accumulated in their country into our waters. Our living aquatic resources becomes poisoned with toxic heavy metals which is passed to humans that consumes them. Why won't people develop incurable ailments.

The whites wave foreign currencies to bride the so called people protecting our waters. They then breach our Economic Exclusive Zone without resistance.


We have all the resources including human resources to make things right. We just need good policymakers and policy. Over dependence on oil sha

We need to breach the gap between Govt and University Dons to make things work. People in such field should be involved in policy making.
