Speaking at the event, Oyetola described the inauguration as a significant milestone in the ongoing effort by the administration of President Bola Tinubu to reposition the maritime sector for maximum national impact.

He said the exercise represented not merely a routine constitutional process, but a vital step in consolidating the structures that will drive the marine and blue economy in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The minister reaffirmed President Tinubu’s commitment to unlocking the immense potential of Nigeria’s maritime domain for economic growth, environmental sustainability, and national development.
The minister highlighted Nigeria’s strategic maritime position along the Gulf of Guinea and an expansive 850-kilometre coastline, noting the country’s potential to benefit substantially from activities such as shipping, fisheries, marine biotechnology, offshore energy and coastal tourism.

Addressing the newly appointed members of the NIMASA Board, the minister outlined the critical mandate of the agency, which includes maritime safety, labour regulation, marine environmental protection and capacity development.
