All selected candidates will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Violent conflicts in many countries of the world and particularly in Africa have continued to increase both in complexities and numbers. The violence which is mostly due to lack of good governance political wrangling inequality citizens’ agitation for quality of life and inability to access essential services of life has permeated socio-economic political aspects of the country. It has resulted in political instability wanton destruction of lives and property mass displacement of the civil population and destruction of key development infrastructures. Often citizens ventilate their displeasures through violent extremism radicalization and violent mass protests. Lack of good governance and political instability often result in weakened economy with attendant inability of the government to provide basic services and good welfare for the citizens. Low access to education inadequate basic healthcare services lack of essential infrastructure critical to the citizens’ well-being and progress and high unemployment have often pushed many people to engage in criminal acts that exacerbate insecurity both to citizens and the economy. Such illicit acts include kidnappings cattle rustlings armed robbery maritime crimes and piracy especially in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG). Piracy and maritime crimes in GoG especially in Nigeria waters have been remarkable causing damages to government and private investments as well as hampering the international trades and businesses. The rate of piracy and criminalities in GoG has been increasing over the years and the worst globally. In 2020 it was reported that 27 of the world’s 28 recorded kidnapping at sea incidents occurred in GoG. The report indicated that 623 seafarers were exposed to kidnapping in GoG region as compared to 8 seafarers that suffered a similar threat elsewhere within the period. The frequency of the attacks and violence is taking tolls on the operational capacities of the navies and the general economic well-being of the countries as well as the coastal communities of the region. Piracy in GoG discourages foreign investments weakens state control of coastal and offshore areas slows development of blue economy and emboldens illicit trades and illegal fishing. Piracy equally terrorizes the seafarer communities. The activities of the pirates remain a serious threat to trades and businesses of the coastal communities; retard the economies of the GoG countries particularly Nigeria; and hamper international trades and businesses along the corridor. Despite the strengthening of Nigeria’s military and its persistent impressive performance in international assignments including global peace support missions (PSOs) it has been unable to convert and arrest the growing tendencies of illicit maritime crimes in GoG. Such maritime crimes include piracy armed robbery kidnappings and violent attacks on ships and crews. This makes GoG the most dangerous waters for seafarers. The realization of this especially to international trades and businesses made the Government of Japan through UNDP Nigeria to support the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Centre (MLAILPKC) to gain capacity to run counter-piracy courses for relevant stakeholders in GoG countries.The current intervention will help to improve security in the coastal areas of GoG member states; assist MLAILPKC to cascade knowledge and expertise gained under the pilot anti-piracy project through administration of courses and seminars; and provide enabling institutional environment for effective conduct of counter-piracy courses.
