The Sustainable Nigerian Blue Economy – Ecosystem Conference has been shifted to hold from 26th – 28th November, 2024 at the Presidential Hotel, Aba Road, Port Harcourt.
According to a statement by Alfe City Institution, the organisers, the conference earlier scheduled for 5-7 November in Lagos is being shifted to accommodate the specific need of very key stakeholders.
The statement said the change was necessary to ensure full participation of the House of Representatives Committees relevant to the Nigerian Blue Economy.
Soji Adeleye, Chief Executive Officer said the Ecosystem Conference is a three day event that brings all the stakeholders including both the legislative and executive arms of the government, the Littoral states and others to help in the urgent comprehensive legislative requirements and policy formulation exercise necessary for a sustainable Nigerian Blue Economy.
“This Conference aspires to bring into focus how a robust maximalist implementation of a sustainable Nigerian Blue Economy would tackle the most critical challenges facing the country today – low productivity, unemployment, transportation infrastructural deficit and economic stagnation,” he said.
Some of the confirmed participants in the conference include the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), the Delta State Government.
The Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) will also be making contribution on the important issue of financing solutions for the infrastructural development projects required for building a sustainable Nigerian Blue Economy at the conference.
