As part of measures to
attract foreign investors to tap into opportunities that abound in the Nigerian
maritime industry, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency,
NIMASA, will be showcasing the potentials of the sector at the Norway Shipping
week later this year.
NIMASA
Director-General Dr. Dakuku Peterside made this known when the Norwegian
Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, Ronny Berg, and the Norwegian
Ambassador to Nigeria Jens-Peter Kjemprud visited the NIMASA Headquarters in
Lagos.
Dr. Peterside, who noted
that Nigeria has a very rich maritime heritage, said Minister of Transportation
Rotimi Amaechi would be leading a delegation from Nigeria to grace the event
and meet relevant maritime stakeholders at the side lines of the occasion in
Norway.
A statement by NIMSA’s
image maker Isichei Osamgbi quoted the Norwegian Deputy Minister of Trade as
saying that Nigeria is Norway’s biggest trade partner on the continent of
Africa hence the need to strengthen the ties through cooperation and
collaboration.
