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. The Nigerian government, led by Adegboyega Oyetola, aims to attract $10 billion in investments over the next decade to modernize ports, enhance aquaculture, and boost the maritime sector.

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