Instead of fighting to see the balance, concentrate on seeing how we can disburse what is available, increase our fleet and benefit from this trade that is very precious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the investments at Lekki deep seaport will be useless if ships do not go there. So, why don\u2019t we put our heads together, get the funds, acquire the ships and make our own ports lively instead of struggling to quarrel and fight?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you say your money is 10,000 and somebody says no, it is 5,000, collect the 5,000 and follow him to collect the balance of 5,000,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his welcome address, SOAN President, Dr McGeorge Onyung, commended NIMASA and Navy, saying that without peace, safety, security, and calm nothing can work.<\/p>\n<p>He further thanked NIMASA for getting the NNPC to allow indigenous vessels work in the industry, thereby changing the narrative of past decades \u201cwhen only foreign companies were working for Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>His words: \u201cNow our members are in that contract and trying to settle down, in spite of the hiccups, and in the end we will be able to benefit from the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Onyung urged members to cooperate and draw down the CVFF to enhance the nation\u2019s economic prosperity through non-oil export, explaining that if NNPC produces crude oil for export, shipping produces non-oil export through freight, because when crude oil is exported, the shipping aspect is non-oil export.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been instructed by the Federal Government to give shipowners cash for the purchase of ships at the official rate rather than at the excessive black market rate.
