Nigeria is to host the third edition of Lagos International Maritime Week (LIMW) 2018 next week in order to explore opportunities in the country’s maritime industry.

The forum will bring together world maritime stakeholders in order to promote Nigeria as the preferred destination for maritime investments in Africa.

The Chairman, Zoe Maritime Resources Limited, Mrs Oritsematosan Edodo- Emore, disclosed this in Lagos, saying the theme of the event is “Developing Maritime Infrastructure in Africa.”

She explained that the event would focus on maritime business conference and exhibition. Edodo-Emore said the forum would provide an invaluable platform for organisations to expand their market share in the maritime industry not only in Nigeria, but in the West and Central African sub-regions.

She noted that the inaugural edition of the Lagos International maritime week held in 2017 was a huge success. Edodo-Emore added that the event would showcase new developments and products to put Lagos on the global map of maritime events worldwide.

“The programme also will work toward continuing the promotion of Nigeria as the preferred destination for maritime investments in Africa. She said that regional stakeholders would also be participating at LIMW event
