Navy To Train Maritime Journalists In Blue Economy

In a strategic move to deepen national understanding and engagement with the Blue Economy, the International Maritime Institute of Nigeria (IMION), a research and training arm established by the Nigerian Navy, has announced an exclusive executive course tailored for Journalists.

The training scheduled to be held by the end of June 2025, will convene top-tier maritime journalists and media executives to explore the vast potential of Nigeria’s maritime domain.

The initiative underscores the critical role of the media in shaping public discourse, influencing policy, and driving sustainable development within the Blue Economy ecosystem.

IMION, renowned for its international-standard training programmes, brings together eminent subject-matter experts to deliver high-impact sessions. The executive course on the Blue Economy for the Media is designed to equip participants with advanced knowledge and strategic insights to enhance reporting, advocacy, and policy engagement in the maritime sector.

The invitation highlights the institute’s recognition of media professionals as key stakeholders in the nation’s maritime future.

According to IMION, the course aims to foster collaboration between media and industry players, strengthen policy advocacy, and build capacity for sustainable exploitation of Nigeria’s Blue Economy resources.

As Nigeria continues to explore the economic opportunities within its coastal and marine environments, initiatives like this signal a growing commitment to inclusive and informed development strategies.
