Spain seeks partnership with Nigeria on maritime security

The Spanish Navy has reiterated its commitment to partner with the Nigerian Navy to tackle maritime insecurity in the Gulf of Guinea.

The Spanish Ambassador to Nigeria, Juan Jell, said this on Monday night in Apapa, Lagos, during the reception on board its warship, Bam Tornado.

Jell explained that the exercise was part of Spain’s three-month deployment of ships within the Gulf of Guinea.

“This ship is in Lagos as part of our three-month deployment within the Gulf of Guinea, which falls within what we call the European coordinated maritime presence. This is the reason why the Spanish Navy together with other navies is ensuring maritime security
