The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) says the Nigerian government has taken a laudable step for accepting to host the Global Maritime Security conference stressing that the conference will go a long way to address concerns of security of the maritime domain of the entire Gulf of Guinea.

Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, secretary – general of OPEC, noted that the Gulf of Guinea is strategic to the stability of oil production globally.

“The Gulf of Guinea is a major shipping route and any infraction in the area is largely felt beyond the region. This conference is timely in bringing together the relevant and critical stakeholders to allow them to discuss in a constructive manner what concerted action could be undertaken to ensure the sustainable use and long term security of this important and strategic body of ocean,” Barkindo said in a statement to the conference’s organising committee.
