To
harness Nigeria’s maritime potential, the Director General of the Nigerian
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has
called for stakeholders’ active participation to grow the country’s
blue economy.
He made
this known at the harmonised NIMASA Stakeholders Interactive Forum in Lagos,
saying amount of littoral states in Nigeria and the length of the nation made
the development of Nigeria’s blue economy a necessity for the country’s
benefit.
He said
the agency was on a mission of changing the landscape of the nation’s maritime
domain by putting a policy framework in place to allow maritime business to
thrive. He,
however, charged industry stakeholders to collaborate and cooperate with the
agency as it strived to create an enabling environment to operate:
Chairman
of the agency, Major General Jonathan India Garba (retd), said the board would
continue to support the current management by giving necessary approvals that
would reform the Nigerian maritime sector for economic benefit.
