NGAliko Dangote, president of Dangote Industries Limited, emphasized the importance of investing in Nigeria's marine and blue economy during a stakeholders' engagement event hosted by the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy. He outlined how strategic investments in sectors such as aquaculture, hatcheries, feed production, processing, cold-chain logistics, and export infrastructure could reduce imports, conserve foreign exchange, create over 500,000 jobs, and establish Nigeria as a leading exporter of fisheries products. Dangote highlighted the need for private sector involvement and an enabling government environment to achieve these goals. He also pointed out that Nigeria currently imports nearly $1 billion worth of fish annually due to a supply deficit, despite increasing domestic production. The national policy on marine and blue economy aims to create three million jobs within four years, with at least 50% of those positions reserved for youth aged 18–35.
