ASIAN INVESTORS EYE NIGERIA MARITIME INDUSTRY
 Investors from the Asian region are considering investing in the Nigerian maritime sector, which has huge opportunities and potential. One of such potential investors is the fourth largest shipping group in the world, STX Group, which has indicated interest in investing in the Nigerian maritime sector and has scheduled a visit to Nigeria in June this year.
This was disclosed when the director general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Temisan Omatseye, met with representatives of the group at the just concluded 11th edition of the Asia Pacific Maritime Expo 2010, which took place in Singapore.
At the meeting, Omatseye educated them on the opportunities in the Nigerian maritime sector to which the deputy president of the STX group, Yao Han Thung, who led the delegation from STX, admitted ignorance.
Enlightened about the Nigerian maritime potential, Thung then said that his company is delighted at the prospect of investing in Nigeria and immediately scheduled a visit to Nigeria in June.
In a release signed by the deputy director, Public Relations of NIMASA, Ego Nwokocha, she noted that NIMASA has assured investors from the Asian region of a conducive investment atmosphere in Nigeria in its quest to attract Foreign Direct Investment into the Nigerian maritime sector.
According to the release, NIMASA DG gave the assurance during his meeting with various maritime stakeholders at the just concluded Asia Pacific Maritime Expo, where over 800 leading international organizations in the maritime sector from 52 countries converged for the exhibition on latest trends in marine equipment, technology services and policies and Nigeria was the only African country.
Omatseye described the agency's participation as highly rewarding for the Nigerian maritime sector. He said, "It is interesting to see all these potential investors coming to make enquiries about the Nigerian maritime industry. I am sure the nation will soon start enjoying the benefits of this campaign.
"We have also learnt a lot from our participation and we will surely implement all we have learnt from here". He said.
The potential investors were educated on investment opportunities in the Nigerian maritime sector, reasons why they should invest in Nigeria, and details about NIMASA. Omatseye described the world as a global village where effective collaboration between nations will be symbiotic in nature and enhance maritime safety the world over.
The NIMASA helmsman also led a delegation from the Agency to meet with the management of the Maritime Ports Administration of Singapore where avenues of cooperation were explored.
The group director of Policy and Planning, Yee Cheok Hong, commended NIMASA for reaching out to them and promised cooperation in the area of capacity building, encouraging Singaporean maritime service providers to explore the Nigerian maritime industry, and in the area of ship building and acquisition.
While commending NIMASA for the initiative to attract foreign direct investment into Nigeria from Asia in general and Singapore in particular, the Nigerian ambassador to Singapore, Adegoke Osunkeye pointed out that the embassy have been inundated with request from indigenous shipowners in Singapore for information about the Nigerian maritime sector.
The embassy also collaborated with NIMASA at the exhibition by educating Asians on travel to Nigeria.
The Chairman, House Committee on Marine Transport, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who was also at the Asian Maritime Expo, described the event as an ideal environment to network for investment.
He commended the management of NIMASA for taking the lead in exploring the Asian market and restated the commitment of Nigerian lawmakers to formulating policies that will make Nigeria an investor friendly environment.
Singapore is considered the maritime hub of the Asian continent and has an economy predominantly dependent on maritime trade. It is also considered as one of the emerging Asian Dragons.
Chairman, Indigenous Ship owners Association of Singapore, Richard Lee, described the Nigerian shipping sector as highly viable adding that the time has come for effective collaboration between indigenous ship owners in Singapore and their counterparts in Nigeria, who also had a delegation led by chairman, Indigenous Ship Owners Association of Nigeria, (ISAN), Isaac Jolapamo.
