President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the continuous development of Nigeria’s maritime industry.
President Tinubu said this when he received the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola, at the State House, Abuja.
Deputy Director/Head, Public Relations, NIMASA, Osagie Edward, in a statement Thursday, stated that issues bordering on the development of Nigeria’s maritime sector were discussed.
The President noted that the creation of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy was a deliberate step towards ensuring that the maritime sector contributes more significantly to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
While commending NIMASA for the progress recorded so far, the President charged Dr. Mobereola and his team at NIMASA not to rest on their oars.
During the meeting, Dr. Mobereola briefed the President on developments within NIMASA over the past two years, highlighting the progress recorded by the Agency as well as some of the challenges confronting the industry.
