He stated: \u201cWe believe that 2019 is a great year, there\u2019s been a forecast that there is going to be about $30billion to spend in the Nigerian maritime industry and it is Nigerian investors that would hope to take advantage of this to grow wealth, create opportunities for our people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way we can appreciate them is to publicly acknowledge them like this and encourage them to do more and assure them that we are standing with them to achieve more goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to encourage them to do more, to continue to weather the storm and achieve more results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, following the recent up-surge in pirate attacks on vessels and abduction of sailors on Nigeria\u2019s territorial and coastal waters, Peterside said that NIMASA has concluded plans to host a global summit on sea piracy.<\/p>\n

He attributed the incessant pirate attacks on vessels and crew members to the attractions the huge oil and gas industry in Nigeria holds, an economy that is absent in most African countries.<\/p>\n

Consequently, he expects the maritime world to gather in Nigeria to discuss maritime security adding that after the summit, piracy will become much degraded in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Although\u00a0he did not disclose the date of the summit, he stated that measures will continue to be put in place to reduce or eliminate the menace of piracy in Nigeria\u2019s territorial waters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
