Lagos, Nov. 2, 2023 – Akutah Pius Ukeyima the new Chief Executive of Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC), says the council is critical to the success of President Tinubu’s agenda on marine and blue economy.
Ukeyima assumed duty in the Lagos office of the Council on Wednesday.
He said the Council now had additional responsibilities with the creation of the ministry of marine and blue economy.
While addressing workers, the new boss advised them to work as a team in readiness for the realisation of the Council’s mandate within the context of marine and blue economy.
He said there was a lot of work to be done, but said the workers should be equal to the task since they were all knowledgeable and experienced.
Ukeyima stressed that the Council was critical to the achievement of the agenda of President Tinubu and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy under the Minister, Gboyega Oyetola.
He said that over the years, the nation had been mulling the diversification of the economy, but this would be first time the Federal Government had taken a bold and pragmatic step by creating the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.
He pledged to be a servant leader and reward hard work and commitment.
“Sometimes we don’t appreciate knowledge but moving forward, we will reward hard work,” he said. (GBN)
