Great read! Ahmad Salkida is one of the best investigative journalist in Nigeria. Despite the fact that a lot of people misunderstand him and call him names, he still does his job. Kudos to him!

NAF has been doing a tremendous job in ensuring there is no breathing space for the terrorists. I can't imagine how the battlefield will look like when the Tucano and JF-17 arrives.

The DSS and NIA need to up their ante in other to counter ISWAP intelligence gathering unit. We have seen how this unit carry out raids in top vigilantes' homes to murder them.

It just get infuriating when i see 'established' media houses with their rather lacklustre approach towards investigative journalism
Read their post it's either 'our sources said' or 'the insurgents said' they might as well be the mouth piece of these terrorist, once amraq releases propaganda, they'll be the first ones on it,then post verbatim, let aljazerra do all the work for them

Ahmad has developed a network of sources that are verifiable, an asset, these media house would dream of, am happy after a lot of frustration, he just set out on his own and he's doing alright.

Maritime Security: FG Set To Deploy Integrated Architecture – Amaechi

In an effort to comprehensively tackle insecurity on Nigeria’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, the Federal Government says it is set to deploy its integrated maritime security infrastructure. The Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, stated this Monday in Lagos while briefing the media ahead of the launch of the Integrated National Security and Waterways Protection Infrastructure, also called the Deep Blue Project.

The Minister, who addressed the press conference alongside all the heads of agencies under the ministry, also explained the government’s decision to end the secure anchorage project, a private security initiative run outside the country’s port system. He insisted that all ships coming into the country must anchor at the national ports under the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).     

The Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), while expatiating on the Deep Blue Project, said 80 per cent of the assets required for the takeoff of the total spectrum maritime security architecture would be deployed by June. 

Amaechi, who briefed the media after a high level security meeting with maritime stakeholders, restated the President Muhammadu Buhari government’s determination to tackle maritime insecurity head-on. He assured that the Deep Blue Project, when fully operational, would drastically reduce piracy and other crimes within Nigeria’s maritime domain and the Gulf of Guinea.

The Minister stated, “Recall that we secured an approval from the Federal Executive Council to introduce a maritime security architecture, which is coming to fruition. We engaged the Homeland Security International (HLSI), who are only to provide training and equipment, while the Nigerian Navy would lead the Police, Nigerian Army and Department of State Services, among others that would run the equipment.”  

He stated that the security of the maritime sector needs a more holistic approach, hence the need to involve other arms of the country’s security services to support the Nigerian Navy working with NIMASA.

Giving a breakdown of the assets being installed under the Deep Blue Project, Dakuku revealed that a good number of the assets had arrived the country, including six interceptor boats and a special mission vessel, saying a second one will come in before the end of February.

The Director-General also disclosed that the first special mission aircraft will be in the country before the end of the first quarter of the year, while six armoured aircraft were already in the country, and the first unmanned aerial vehicle would come in before the end of February.

Dakuku stated, “We expect the first helicopter in the first quarter of this year. Almost all the communication gadgets are in the country as well as the Personal Protective Gear (PPG). The C4i centre is fully operational in Kirikiri, the NIMASA Research Centre. Those are the assets we have on ground.

“However, between now and June this year, over 80 per cent of the assets would be in the country and they would be manned by Nigerian military.”

Dakuku stated that the training aspect of the project had since commenced in phases. He said the first set of training for C4i operators and intelligence officers had been concluded. Basic infantry training for soldiers who would fight on land around the littoral areas has also been concluded and the soldiers awaiting deployment, according to him.

“These trainings would continue over time as we try to integrate the intelligence officers with the C4i and those operating the special mission vessels and aircraft,” Dakuku said.

Interesting to hear:
-Six intercepting boats
-special mission aircraft
-special mission vessel of which one is already on ground and the second to arrive in February.
-one unmanned aerial vehicle due to arrive in February also.
Now I don’t understand what they meant by ; [/b]“six armored aircraft”[b] already in the country?
Another convincing part of the report: [/b]“Dakuku stated, “We expect the first helicopter in the first quarter of this year“[b]. Are they not the “armored aircraft” already in the country ?

Off the top of my head and without doing any research, I would guess that it has to do with the manufacturing process being more efficient with more automation and use of composite materials in the components. This also applies to avionics production and associated equipment. A big part of costs usually is manpower and with less of such costs, especially in Eastern Europe, it could be a major factor. Just my guess.

Edit: There is also less R& as some of the avionics ETC. would already have been developed and trialled on the SU-35.

I think they meant 6 armoured craft as in amphibious vehicles.

Edit: "NIMASA Executive Director, Operations, Rotimi Fashakin said in addition to the two special mission vessels, ten fast interceptor boats have been delivered and seven more will arrive later in the year. Two special mission aircraft, three helicopters, four unmanned aerial vehicles and 16 armoured vehicles are also being acquired."

I think the special mission aircraft are Cessnas and the expected unmanned AVs might be the order from the US?
