    The Federal Ministry of Works has donated a speed boat to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Lagos State Command to strengthen protection of critical infrastructure, including the Third Mainland Bridge and other major federal bridges in the state. Lagos State Commandant Mr. Keshinro Adedotun commissioned the vessel on Thursday, November 20, 2025, as part of a broader effort to combat illegal activities threatening bridge infrastructure. The newly established Marine and Infrastructure Protection Unit, headed by Assistant Commandant of Corps Oloyede Emmanuel Ige, will operate the boat to monitor and patrol waterways beneath the bridges. The donation reflects the Ministry's commitment to supporting the NSCDC in its mandate to protect public infrastructure. The speed boat will be instrumental in curbing illegal dredging, excavation, and encroachment activities that pose significant risks to bridge integrity and stability. "This speed boat is a morale booster for our officers working tirelessly to stop unscrupulous elements from compromising our critical infrastructure," the Lagos State Commandant stated during the launch ceremony. The initiative aligns with directives from the Office of the National Security Adviser and involves collaboration between the NSCDC, the Federal Ministry of Works, and the National Inland Waterways Authority. The State Commandant commended the former Federal Controller of Works in Lagos for her support in providing logistical assistance to the Corps. Officials warned licensed dredgers to comply fully with regulations while cautioning illegal operators that strict enforcement of the law awaits those caught engaging in unauthorized dredging, excavation, or encroachment. Illegal activities pose serious threats to bridge safety and could undermine the state's and nation's economic stability, authorities emphasized.

Between January and now, the rate has risen a couple of times. It was moved from N952/$ in December to N1356/$. And was moved to N1,413/$ before it went to N1,444/$. The rate moved to N1,515 before finally getting to N1.605.

When our correspondent visited the portal of the Nigeria Customs Service on Wednesday, it was observed that the new rate was reflected on the portal.
