The European Union has donated an array of security hardwares, including 30 rigid-hull inflatable boats and forensic equipment, to the Economic Community of West African States to tackle maritime crime and other security challenges in the sub-region.
This was disclosed at a high-level maritime security seminar convened by the ECOWAS in Abuja, on Monday, under the framework of the European Union-funded Support to the West Africa Integrated Maritime Security project.
The equipment, estimated at €5m, was expected to help security agencies in Nigeria and 11 other coastal ECOWAS states in combating crime.
