The head of Nigeria's maritime safety agency says the shipping industry had a very good year. Director General Dayo Mobereola, in a message relayed by spokesman Osagie Edward, cited a full twelve months with zero pirate attacks as a top achievement. He also pointed to Nigeria winning a seat on the International Maritime Organization council and the president signing new global treaties. These events, according to the agency, show the sector is becoming more stable and attractive to investors.
Mobereola listed the piracy record, the three treaty accessions by President Bola Tinubu, and general labor peace as reasons for the positive review. He credited cooperation from shipping companies and worker unions for the progress. With the new IMO council membership, he stated the agency feels a greater duty to enforce safety, security, and environmental rules even more strictly next year. The statement ended with thanks to the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and holiday wishes to the nation.
