According to the associaton, the book which is set to be unveiled soonest is a well researched book put together by the great associaton in order to create awareness and educate the general public on the potentials inherent in the emerging sector as well as the numerous investment opportunities within the marine and blue economy sector of the Nigerian federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, maritime parastatals and government agencies in the industry like the Nigerian Shippers\u2019 Council, NSC, Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, NCDMB, the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC have already expressed interest for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, captains of industry and industry bigwigs who expressed happiness over MARAN’s foresightedness and efforts in packaging such historic book include Prince Olayiwola Shittu, former President of Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents, ANLCA; Chief Isaac Jolapamo, Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Nigeria Shipowners Association, NISA, Principal Partner, Jean Chiazor and Partners, Dame Jean Chiazor Anishere, SAN amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARAN as the watchdog of the industry, has expressed worries about the apparent dearth of sufficient and well researched materials in this areas about the also commended the foresightedness of Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government for setting up the newly created Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, a means to reap from $20 trillion of world maritime trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the President of MARAN, Mr. Godfrey Bivbere, the book seeks to document the contributions of industry regulators, operators, organizations and individuals who have invested their time, intellect and resources to the growth and development of the maritime sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will focus on the inputs and impacts of outstanding individuals and organizations to the transformation of the Nigerian Maritime industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDocumenting such contributions of individuals and corporate bodies will engender healthy rivalry among stakeholders and fast track development of the sector and the new Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe book will in the future serve as a referral and research material for students in higher institutions of learning\u201d,\u00a0Bivbere\u00a0stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
