The Nigerian Fleet Implementation Committee (NFIC) has submitted her interim report on the need to establish a strong and sustainable national fleet to the  Minister of Transportation, Engr Muazu Sambo.

 

 

Receiving the report in Abuja, September 7, the Minister said that  if Nigeria gets her acts together to explore the potentials the maritime sector offers, the country will have no business looking for revenue from the oil sector to grow her GDP.

 

 

“I don’t know whether in the course of the Committee’s consultations with other stakeholders, you were able to have some conversations with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) because, If NNPC, can give 100 % support, this matter can be closed in two months,” he stated.

 

 

Earlier, the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Shippers’ Council,and Chairman, Nigerian Fleet Implementation Committee (NFIC), Hon. Emmanuel Jime, said the Committee was constituted by the immediate-past Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to implement the recommendations in the report by an earlier Ministerial Committee on Modalities for the Establishment of a Nigerian Fleet.

 

 

Jime who was represented by Managing Director, Sea Transport Group and member, NFIC, Mr. Aminu Umar stated that the initiative was a way of responding to the non-participation of Nigerians in the carriage of Nigeria’s international cargo as well as the loss of freight revenue, jobs and other benefits which would otherwise have accrued to the country.

 

 

His words: “In the course of carrying out the mandate, lessons have been learnt and some modest achievements have been recorded. These have been captured in this interim report which we are submitting today. The work is still ongoing and the goal of creating an enabling environment for the growth of sustainable Nigerian fleet will be achieved in due course”.

 

 

“There were challenges that impeded the quick realization of the project as earlier envisaged. Shipping is international and competitive in nature and Nigeria cannot operate in isolation, hence the need for the operating environment to be similar to what obtains elsewhere. This has been a major challenge to the growth of the sector in Nigeria. Review of certain trade policies, access to funds and technical/human capacity are issues that need to be resolved”.
