By

The Minister of Transportation, Honourable Rotimi Amaechi, has said that Nigeria maritime sector is a haven of opportunities for the world maritime industry to tap into.Amaechi said this to the Norwegians while speaking at the just concluded Nor-Shipping 2017 held at Lillstrome, Norway.The former governor of Rivers state gave the Norwegians assurance that Nigeria was a strategic destination for investment opportunities, while stressing that Nigeria epitomized a broad spectrum of the African continent.In trying to convince these Norwegians the more, Amaechi said that the anti-corruption stance of the Federal Government and the establishment of the National Trade Data Centre were expected to eliminate inherent corporate governance abuses and assured investors that they would have good returns on their investments.“Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with about 183 million people and by extension, with the cumulative population of two landlocked countries of Chad Republic which is 14.9m people and Niger Republic with 21.3m people creates a huge consuming market and comparable cheap labour,” the minister said.Complementing Amaechi’s effort, the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, stated that Nigeria as a maritime nation was blessed  with over 850 kilometers of coastline, pointing out that the country had six modern port complexes, a fast developing intermodal transport system and an abundant trained workforce combined with a standard regulatory regime amongst others which were benefits accruable to investing in the Nigeria maritime sector.
