The Nigerian Maritime Law Association (NMLA) has given the National Assembly a May 2027 deadline to clear all pending maritime bills, according to ThisDayLive. The association is pushing for faster domestication of international maritime treaties and stronger enforcement of maritime laws in Nigeria. This move comes as the country strives to boost its economy, particularly in the maritime sector. The NMLA’s deadline aims to ensure that necessary legislative changes are implemented to enhance maritime security and improve the business environment for local and international investors. It remains unclear how the National Assembly plans to respond to this request, as they have not yet issued a statement on the matter.
