At the International Maritime Organization summit in London, Adegboyega Oyetola made it clear: the global shift to net-zero shipping must be fair and inclusive.
He backed decarbonisation but warned that countries like Nigeria shouldn’t be weighed down by policies that ignore their economic and infrastructure challenges.
Oyetola stressed that climate action must go hand-in-hand with growth, trade, and stability.
On the sidelines, Nigeria held key talks with IMO boss Arsenio Dominguez, focusing on maritime security, capacity building, and stronger global partnerships.
Dominguez, in turn, praised Nigeria’s progress in tackling piracy and boosting regional maritime security.
