Nigeria Urged to Invest in Seafloor Mapping for Blue Economy Growth
A US-trained hydrographer, Musa Animashaun, advocates for Nigeria's blue economy development, urging investments in seafloor mapping to tap into the vast ocean resources.

This move aligns with the approved national policy on marine and blue economy, focusing on job creation and sustainable growth through private sector participation.
