The United States Coast Guard has lifted a 12-year Condition of Entry imposed on vessels arriving in the United States from Nigeria, according to a statement from the Federal Government. Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, announced the development, noting that the Condition of Entry required vessels to undergo additional security measures and enhanced scrutiny.
Over the past two years, the US Coast Guard conducted four comprehensive assessments of Nigeria’s national maritime security framework and port facilities, revealing significant progress in maritime security performance and the implementation of the ISPS Code. The lifting of the Condition of Entry is seen as a major milestone for Nigeria’s maritime sector, affirming the progress made in strengthening maritime security and ensuring compliance with international standards.
