The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Dr. Adegboyega Oyetola, has called for stronger collaboration with state governments to unlock the vast economic potential of Nigeria’s marine and blue economy sector.
Speaking at the Second Quarter 2026 Citizens’ and Stakeholders’ Engagement of the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy in Lagos, Oyetola said sub-national participation is critical to the successful implementation of the National Policy on Marine and Blue Economy.
He noted that Nigeria has moved beyond policy formulation and must now focus on practical implementation capable of delivering measurable economic benefits.
The engagement, themed “From Policy to Action: Mobilising Sub-National Governments for Effective Implementation of Nigeria’s National Policy on Marine and Blue Economy,” brought together key stakeholders to strengthen collaboration and accelerate sectoral growth.
In his keynote address, Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Duoye Diri, commended President Bola Tinubu for establishing the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, describing it as a strategic step towards diversifying Nigeria’s economy.
