'What I am seeing here today is a testimony to the fact that we have the ability not only to repair but also to build here in Nigeria,' he stated. He further emphasised that the inspection aligns with the vision of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, who has prioritised the development of local capacity in shipbuilding and repairs. 'We at NIMASA are demonstrating our belief in this vision by maintaining our own vessels here,' Mobereola added. Copyright Ships & Ports Ltd.
