Ukeyima said Shippers’ Council is integral to the success of the agenda of President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu administration and the maritime sector under the current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola.

“Over the years, the nation has been mulling the diversification of the economy
from oil dependency to other revenue generating sectors. This is the first time the Federal
Government has taken a bold and pragmatic step by creating the Ministry of Marine and Blue
Economy,” Ukeyima said.

robust.

He promised that his tenure would reward hard work and commitment.

“Sometimes we don’t appreciate knowledge, but moving forward, we will reward hard work,” he enthused.

He thanked the management and staff of the Council for the warm reception.
