Transforming Nigeria's Blue Economy with Low-Cost Technology

A recent study published in the World Journal of Advanced Research Review emphasizes the critical role of low-cost technology in boosting Nigeria's blue economy. Tairat Abiola Titiloy, a maritime development specialist, argues that providing affordable access to innovative solutions is key to bridging the gap in the country's coastal prosperity.

The study identifies the lack of basic tools for fishers as a major challenge, advocating for the adoption of low-cost technologies like solar-powered lanterns, mobile applications for weather updates, and small-scale solar chillers to improve safety, reduce operational costs, and increase household incomes in the fishing sector.
