The Nigeria Coast Guard Corps (NCGC) is a government agency in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, responsible for maritime security and law enforcement along Nigeria's coastline.
The Nigerian Coast Guard was officially established by Senator Akon Eyakenyi from Akwa Ibom South in 2021, in order to transition from the Nigerian Navy to dedicate a focus on safeguarding Nigeria's maritime interests and combating piracy, illegal fishing, and smuggling.[1] [2] [3] The NCGC utilizes rank similar to the Nigerian Navy.[4]
