“Shipping is a global trade which ferries over 90percent of goods that come into this country. We want to declare to the whole world that if you are not shipping, you are not shopping. Anybody that shops already has something to do with shipping.”

Also speaking at the media briefing, SOAN 1st Vice President, Mr. Eno Williams explained that, “The Niger Delta has been a study as regards insecurity in Nigeria’s maritime domain. The Niger Delta remains one of the hotbeds of maritime insecurity globally, and this has shot up the cost of business for shipowners in Nigeria.”
