Nigerian maritime players and officials have completed plans to understudy the Chinese waterways transport model with a view to refining Nigeria’s waterways transportation system.
In a statement, the Head of Maritime Roundtable Breakfast Meeting, MBRBM, Mrs Tosan Edodo-Emore, stated that China being the biggest nation with the greatest interior waterways is appropriate to educate Nigeria on how best to manage and enhance water transport system.
She stated that the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China, Madam Yan Yuqing, is anticipated to discuss the Chinese experience with the Sino-Nigeria Maritime Relationship and lessons to be acquired from China at the summit set for April 18, 2024.
According to the Edodo-Emore, the Summit themed, “Security and New Technologies in Inland Waterways Transportation”, would feature several chiefs of maritime organizations.
