The United States Coast Guard has commended Nigeria, and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency NIMASA, for what the Coast Guard described as considerable progress in the implementation of the International Ships and Ports Facility Security ISPS Code.

This was made public by Joe Prince Larson of the US Coast Guard who led a team from the International Port Security Programme on a Working Tour of some Terminals and Ports in Nigeria to ascertain the level of implementation of the ISPS Code across Nigerian ports facilities.

The team had earlier conducted assessment visits to the Dangote Port and Lekki Free Trade Zones in Lekki, Lagos State, as well as private port facilities operated by Matrix Energy and Julius Berger in Warri, Delta State.
