 U.S COMMENDS NIGERIA ON REMOVAL OF 12-YEAR CONDITION OF ENTRY 


The United States Government has commended Nigeria for its sustained maritime security reforms, which led to the lifting of the 12-year Condition of Entry imposed on vessels visiting the United States from Nigeria, saying the development will deliver tangible benefits to shipping operators, reduce shipping costs and strengthen trade between the two countries. 


In a letter addressed to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, the U.S.


Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Frank Garcia Jr., congratulates Nigeria on the milestone, describing it as evidence of the country’s “sustained strengthening of port security and anti-terrorism compliance.”  


He says The United States values its maritime and economic partnerships with Nigeria and looks forward to continued collaboration in promoting secure, efficient, and mutually beneficial trade between our nations.


Speaking on the development, Minister of Marine and Economy, credited President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and strategic support for the milestone, particularly the administration’s decision to prioritise the marine and blue economy as a key pillar of Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda.


The letter provides a fresh endorsement from Washington following the United States Coast Guard’s decision, announced in August, to lift the long-standing security restriction on vessels arriving in the United States from Nigeria.
