This was the outcome of the three days meeting held in Abuja from August 8 through August 10 , 2024.
Earlier at the beginning of the meeting, the minister of marine and blue economy, Adegboyega Oyetola had said the blue economy presents significant challenges and promising opportunities for sustainable development.

At the event, the minister said, “Considering the huge potentials of the national marine resources, the institutionalization of the expanded partnership committee on sustainable blue economy in Nigeria was approved with the view to develop a strategic plan for the national blue economy. This is what has eventually resulted in the creation of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.

“Today marks a significant milestone as we gather here to review the draft strategy document for the Marine and Blue Economy sector. This workshop comes at a time when we are harmonizing governance structures, developing strategies and plans of action for promoting blue economy development initiatives and this strategy document is expected to provide a comprehensive framework for harnessing the potential of our oceans while safeguarding its health for the present and future generations.”

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting, the stakeholders, in line with their objectives, “identified priority issues, challenges and actions that can be translated into key thematic areas in developing the National Blue Economy Strategy for Nigeria based on the Africa Blue Economy Strategy, Implementation Plan and Governance Coordination Mechanism.
