Nigeria and Liberia Partner for Maritime Training Initiative
On September 3, 2023, the Maritime Academy of Nigeria (MAN) in Oron, Akwa Ibom State, established a strategic partnership with the Liberia Maritime Authority and the Liberia Maritime Training Institute. This collaboration aims to enhance maritime education and develop a skilled workforce to support Africa's blue economy.
The partnership was initiated following a visit by a Liberian maritime delegation to MAN. Tornorlah Varpilah, chairman of the Liberia Maritime Authority, emphasized the importance of pooling knowledge and expertise to foster growth in maritime education and employment opportunities.
He praised Nigeria's resources and capacity for investment in the maritime sector. Kehinde Akinola, Board Chairman of MAN, noted that the partnership was built on previous engagements, including a visit by MAN officials to Liberia in 2025.
The partnership will focus on cadet training, academic exchanges, deployment of trained cadets, and sharing expertise in the blue economy.
