The newly sworn Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola on Monday resumed duty as a minister in Abuja on Monday, The PUNCH reports.
“Experts say the Blue Economy is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion per year globally. Therefore, given our size as a country and considering the size of our blue economy, we should be a significant player in this sector, to contribute immensely to the revenue generation of our country and also provide jobs for the unemployed.
“This can be done by embarking on a holistic dredging campaign for most of our strategically important inland waterways to make them navigable for the passage of goods and people.”
