@SFox
Hello and welcome to the blog. My advice is to contact any security folks that have worked for Shell or ExxonMobile. Both of these oil companies have security folks working in Nigeria, and they could give you some good info. If you go on Linkedin and do a couple of searches, you should be able to find a few guys that have worked for these companies there. You could also try the forums and get a few hits for info as well. On the blog, just click on the category ‘Nigeria’ for all of the stuff I have. You can also read Steve Coll’s book on ExxonMobile’s experience in Nigeria to get an idea of what is going on there.

Hello Matt, I was referred to you and your site from a former contractor.

I am looking at a gig in Nigeria and am to assemble a team prior to deployment. I am looking for information regarding Nigeria from a “contractor’s” stand point and wanted to know if you had such info.
Regards

As someone who was part of a military vessel escort and security team it is interesting to see this become a reality. The TTP that they are planning seems very similar to what we have used. However we considered insufficient to run an escort with less than two assets per vessel under our protection. Idealy we would have a larger well armed C&C craft accompanied by two smaller & faster boats (still with mounted automatic weapons) this was the only way we were able adequately provide close in security without security teams onboard the cargo ships. It is far too easy for small fast vessels to evade security boats, especially when attacking in great numbers.
