Nigeria’s Maritime Innovations Hub CEO Ronke Kosoko is sounding the alarm for big-time, sustained cash injections into the economy, especially the blue sector, to hit President Bola Tinubu’s $1 trillion GDP dream—slamming decades of lost growth from flip-floppy policies, botched execution and vested interests that starved maritime’s massive coastline and waterways of jobs and revenue.
At Monday’s Abuja media parley with the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, Kosoko cheered recent wins like the $1B port rehab, Bakassi Deep Sea Port greenlight, UNILAG maritime studies revival and Nigeria’s 40-year-return to IMO Council—flagging a Blue Economy Investment Summit to rally govs, investors and players for logistics fixes, shipping booms and fisheries goldmines via a solid roadmap.
Presidential social media aide Dada Olusegun doubled down on digital firepower to hook youth with policy bites, job alerts and role model vibes, turning social platforms into blue economy hype machines for nationwide buy-in and explosive participation.
