Oyetola Invites Danish Investors to Nigeria's Blue Economy

Dr. Adegboyega Oyetola, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, called on Danish investors to seize the investment opportunities available in Nigeria’s marine and blue economy. He assured potential investors of attractive incentives and strong returns in a business environment increasingly supportive of private-sector participation.

This appeal was made during a bilateral meeting with Denmark’s Minister for Business and Competitiveness, Martin Lidegaard, as stated by Dr. Bolaji Akinola, the Special Adviser to the Minister. Oyetola noted that Nigeria is transitioning from establishing the institutional framework for the Marine and Blue Economy to focusing on project development, investment mobilization, and capacity building.

He emphasized the country's extensive coastline, inland waterways, and strategic location as key advantages for investors. Oyetola also mentioned the established presence of Danish companies in Nigeria's maritime sector as a foundation for expanding commercial relations and invited more Danish businesses to participate in Nigeria’s maritime transformation.
