The French government has called upon Nigeria’s private sector to actively participate in safeguarding marine ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing ocean pollution and promoting sustainable maritime practices. This appeal aligns with France’s broader commitment to global ocean conservation, exemplified by its partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies to support the upcoming United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France, scheduled for June 2025.
In Nigeria, the private sector’s role in developing the blue economy is gaining recognition. The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has highlighted the potential for private enterprises to drive innovation, investment, and sustainable practices in marine resource utilization. By engaging in initiatives such as marine farming, renewable energy, and ecotourism, businesses can contribute to economic diversification while ensuring the health of ocean ecosystems.
