The Africa Union Agenda 2063, envisions an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its resources and positioned as a dynamic force on the global arena.

Nigeria’s successful implementation of this strategy will not only contribute to the well-being of its citizens, but it will also provide a model for other African nations.”

According to him , “Throughout the discussions, we have explored innovative strategies, identified key challenges, and shared best practices in harnessing the potential of our marine and coastal resources. This clearly demonstrates that our vision for a sustainable blue economy must be anchored in collaboration, inclusivity, and a shared commitment to sustainability.

“The development of our National Blue Economy Strategy is a significant step towards enhancing our nation’s economic growth while ensuring the protection of our marine and coastal ecosystems. This strategy provides a roadmap for the sustainable harnessing of the potential of all aspects of the blue economy.
