The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Nigeria has initiated a strategic partnership with the Nigerian Navy to strengthen maritime logistics and advance the nation’s blue economy. CILT President Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi led a delegation on a courtesy visit to Chief of the Naval Staff Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, focusing on collaborative frameworks to optimize maritime supply chains and secure domestic waterways.
A central element of the collaboration involves partnering with the Nigerian Navy College of Logistics to provide professional certifications, specialized training, and capacity development for naval personnel. This institutional alignment is designed to elevate operational efficiency and build certified logistics expertise within maritime defense frameworks.
Strengthening security and supply chain infrastructure across coastal waterways is vital for reducing transit risks and boosting regional trade competitiveness. Industry leaders emphasize that public-private cooperation between military logistics assets and civilian transport institutes is essential for unlocking sustainable economic growth across Nigeria's maritime corridors.
