Renowned United States maritime and security expert, Prof. Alfred Oniye, has raised concerns about the detrimental effects of excessive

military presence in Nigeria’s maritime industry.

He explained that frequent security operations, checkpoints, and potential clashes disrupt business operations and supply chains, creating an environment perceived as high-risk or unstable. The maritime security expert noted that investors might be apprehensive about the safety of their assets and personnel, and the potential for conflict escalation.Such perceptions, he argued, are likely to discourage long-term investments in the industry.

“Excessive military control can undermine investors’ confidence in legal systems and property rights. Investors prefer environments where their rights are safeguarded, contracts are enforceable, and disputes are resolved fairly,” he stated.
