The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, (NIMASA), Dr Dayo Mobereola has assured the international community of the commitment of the Federal Government of Nigeria to a peaceful, stable and prosperous Atlantic region, which should be explored in a sustainable manner for the benefits of all the countries in the region.
The NIMASA DG stated this during his presentation at the partnership for Atlantic cooperation summit, a sideline session at the 2024 United Nations General Assembly in New York, and chaired by the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.
This is contained in a statement issued by the agency’s Head of Public Relations, Osagie Edward.
According to Mobereola, “Nigeria’s participation in the Atlantic Cooperation has had a transformative effect on how our government is contributing to shaping acceptable global policies and agendas for a more secure, sustainable and prosperous Atlantic region.

“We recently organised an international workshop on Deep Sea-bed activities, where our government reaffirms commitment to develop a legal and regulatory framework for deep-sea mining, driving sustainable economic growth.
“Nigeria is also working closely with critical developmental partners such as the United States, the European Union, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the United Nations to protect our coastline and ensure the safe passage of goods and people, promoting regional economic integration”.
