In a bid to decarbonise Nigeria’s maritime sector and boost its sustainability, APM Terminals Nigeria has called for stronger collaboration among government, industry, investors, and development partners. The call was made in response to the growing need for bankable green infrastructure projects that can transform Nigeria’s maritime sector and contribute significantly to reducing the country’s carbon footprint.
According to THISDAYLIVE, APM Terminals Nigeria believes that such collaboration will accelerate the development of green infrastructure projects capable of transforming the maritime sector. The call echoes sentiments from Punch Newspapers, which reported on the same day that APM Terminals was advocating for bankable green infrastructure projects.
The significance of this push lies in the potential impact on Nigeria’s environment and economy. By promoting greener maritime infrastructure, the country can position itself as a leader in sustainable maritime practices, attracting investment and fostering economic growth while protecting the environment.
As of now, it remains unclear how many other stakeholders have shown interest in joining APM Terminals in this initiative. However, the urgency for action is evident, as Nigeria continues to grapple with environmental challenges and seeks to position itself as a key player in global maritime trade.
