Peterside, who stated this while declaring open the meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Committee for the Implementation of Africa’s Integrated Maritime Strategy 2050 held in Lagos, noted that a maritime policy for Nigeria will provide a platform to implement the framework for the protection and sustainable exploitation of Africa’s Maritime Domain.

The Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, who made this known when he played host to the Director General of the BPE, Alex Okoh, at the headquarters of the Agency in Lagos on Monday, stated that shipping to an extent defines the growth trajectory of any nation, especially as it relates to seaborne commerce.
