The Maritime Reporters Association of Nigeria (MARAN) has unveiled a landmark publication celebrating individuals and institutions shaping the maritime and blue economy landscape.
The new book, titled: “Fifty Drivers of the Nigerian Maritime and Blue Economy”, was launched in Lagos, marking a milestone in documenting the nation’s maritime evolution.
The launch, themed: “Driving the Blue Agenda: Recognising Champions Steering Nigeria’s Marine Economy”, brought together industry stakeholders to honour innovators and reformers driving growth across the sector.
Chairman of the event and former Minister of Interior, Capt. Emmanuel Ihenacho, described the maritime industry as a “vital component” of the national economy.
He stressed that with proper harnessing, the sector possesses immense potential for economic expansion and national development.
Ihenacho also acknowledged the foundational contributions of past and present maritime leaders, tracing the sector’s evolution from the establishment of the National Shipping Line in 1959 to the birth of NIMASA in 2007.
Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Dr Pius Ukeyima Akutah, who was represented by Assistant Director of Operations, Mrs. Juliana Saka, described the publication as a milestone.
He applauded MARAN for demonstrating vision and professionalism by documenting the contributions of key players in the sector.
