The Chairman, Senate Committee on Marine Transport, Wasiu Eshinlokun, has called for the mobilisation of sub-national governments to adopt Nigeria’s National Policy on the Marine and Blue Economy.
Eshinlokun disclosed this last week in Lagos while speaking during the Second Quarter 2026 Citizens and Stakeholders’ Engagement of the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.
He noted that the adoption of Nigeria’s National Policy on the Blue Economy is a significant milestone in the nation’s quest to harness the vast economic opportunities embedded in its maritime domain.
The lawmaker stated that the responsibility of the National Assembly transcends law-making, adding that it extends to creating an embedded legal and decisional framework that guarantees effective implementation of countermeasures and sustainability.
