November 4, 2018

This year’s World Maritime Day offered yet another opportunity for stakeholders to plot the way forward for the Nigerian maritime industry. Kunle Aderinokun reports

How can Nigeria optimise its enormous maritime potential? That was the question at the forefront of every mind as stakeholders from around the country and beyond converged on Lagos on October 16 to participate in the 2018 World Maritime Day celebration hosted by the Federal Ministry of Transportation.

With the theme, “IMO 70: Our Heritage – Better Shipping for a Better Future,” this year’s event, which was held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Ikoyi, coincided with the 70th anniversary of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The landmark event presented an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the maritime industry and focus on confronting the challenges of the industry. That much was clear in the message of the IMO Secretary-General, Mr. Kitack Lim, which set the tone for discussions at the event that had several key maritime stakeholders in attendance.
