Overview

With the establishment of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the government has sought to strengthen marine trade, develop operational capacity, diversify opportunities within the marine economy and harness the potential of Nigeria’s blue economy.

In recent years, Nigeria’s blue economy and transport sector have experienced significant redevelopment and changes in international and coastal trade structures, alongside major global disruptions and economic challenges.

Despite these pressures, the sector has remained resilient and continues to play an important role in international trade, global connectivity, employment and economic activity.
