President Bola Ahmed Tinubu told his cabinet to start working on a blue economy plan that turns Nigeria's 853-kilometer coastline and waterways into actual money instead of just sitting there doing nothing. Vice President Kashim Shettima delivered the message at a meeting with National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies participants who pitched expanding fish production from 1.2 million metric tons to 10 million within two years.

The government wants to push aquaculture, modernize ports, and tap marine biotech while dealing with oil theft and illegal fishing that keeps scaring off investors. Tinubu already created a Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy to handle port systems and get private companies involved, but security problems like piracy and kidnapping still mess everything up despite improvements from the Deep Blue Project.

NIPSS got assigned to run a nationwide security audit and send recommendations directly to the president's office for overhauling how the country handles threats.
