Serious disagreement has ensued between the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency ( NIMASA) over proposed law on Maritime security by the Senate .
The Senate had in a bid to strengthen maritime security, drafted a bill to repeal and amend the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) Act of 2007, which when passed into law , would empower NIMASA to impose fines on Maritime security offenders without taking them to court .
During public hearing on the bill organized by the Senate Committee on Marine Transport on Friday , the Director General of NIMASA , Dayo Mobereola , commended the Senate for coming up with the proposed legislation which according to him, was in line with international best practices
