The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, has stated that the promise of a thriving Blue Economy cannot be realised without a robust, efficient, and integrated logistics and transport system.
This is even as the Minister added that the government is working closely with all stakeholders to achieve a paperless, technology-driven port environment that enhances efficiency, reduces turnaround time, and curbs corruption.
Speaking in Lagos, Oyetola stated explained that the present administration is committed to port modernisation and digitalisation.
Represented at the event by the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, Oyetola stressed that the government is determined to improve logistics performance and competitiveness in the marine and transport sector, making Nigeria a preferred destination for maritime trade and investment.
