The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Bank of Industry (BOI) are exploring collaborative strategies to enhance capacity in the Nigerian maritime sector.
During a meeting between NIMASA’s Executive Director, Mr. Jibril Abba, and BOI’s Executive Director, Mrs. Ifeoma Uz’Okpala, both parties expressed commitment to working together to achieve their shared goals.
NIMASA aims to develop capacity in the sector, focusing on safety, security, maritime labor, and capacity building. The Agency seeks to actualize the Federal Government’s vision to reposition the maritime sector, particularly with the creation of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.
BOI, Nigeria’s oldest Development Finance Institution, has pledged its support to NIMASA, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in implementing robust capacity-building initiatives that contribute to economic growth.
This partnership is expected to drive growth and development in Nigeria’s maritime sector, aligning with the government’s economic diversification objectives.
