Nigeria and Liberia have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening maritime cooperation as part of efforts to unlock the vast potential of Africa’s Blue Economy and drive sustainable regional growth.
The renewed commitment was underscored during a meeting between the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dayo Mobereola, and the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Liberia in Lagos, Dapo Akinosun, at the agency’s headquarters in Lagos.
Mobereola described the engagement as a reflection of the longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship between both countries, particularly within the maritime sector, stressing that deeper collaboration among African nations is essential to maximising the continent’s maritime resources.
According to him, enhanced cooperation between Nigeria and Liberia will support capacity building, strengthen regional integration and create greater opportunities for African youths in the global maritime industry.
“The time has come for African nations to upscale maritime collaboration. The partnership between Nigeria and Liberia will help us build capacity, strengthen regional cooperation and create opportunities for African youths within the global maritime industry,” Mobereola said.
