”We believe in Nigeria and we observe that the business climate in Nigeria can be difficult, but there is hardly any country without its peculiar difficulties,” they said.

Reacting to the proposal Dr Jamoh said, ”One area I will like the Belgian private sector to come in is wreck removal and wreck recycling. There is a huge investment opportunity there, and there is also a big room for collaboration. This is more so as the Federal Government is planning a coordinated policy on wreck removal.”

Dr. Jamoh stated that Nigeria Maritime Transport Policy is part of a larger policy to purposed to build alternatives to oil. “The maritime sector is consciously being opened up for investment, by local and foreign investors to build a sustainable blue economy,” he added.
