Oyetola urges investment in maritime surveillance, law enforcement

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, has called for increased investments in surveillance systems, enhanced maritime law enforcement, and improvements in aquaculture, fishing ports, as well as efforts to combat illegal and unregulated fishing activities.

A statement released on Wednesday by the Ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Anastasia Ogbonna, highlighted the vast potential of the marine and blue economy. It underscored its ability to support economic growth, job creation, and environmental stewardship, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Oyetola noted that resources should be directed towards strengthening Nigeria’s maritime domain.

“There is also a need to promote oceanographic research, stock assessment, renewable marine energy, and climate resilience technologies, which should be top priorities for the agencies,” he said.
