The Nigerian Shippers Council built and commissioned a new 250-seater conference Centre in Jos, which it named after Dr. George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.
The SGF commended the Council and the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy while commissioning the project. He described the project as “a testament to commitment and vision” in strengthening Nigeria’s logistics and maritime system.
“This edifice is not just a building; it is a statement of vision, a testament to commitment, and a reflection of the renewed energy driving Nigeria’s port and logistics system under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the SGF stated.
He noted that across the world, economic progress is built on solid infrastructure, adding that efficient ports, roads, railways, and dry ports are “the arteries through which the lifeblood of commerce flows.”
Dr. Akume further stated that the federal government is prioritising investment in critical transport and trade infrastructure across all regions of the country. This effort, under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, will boost connectivity and competitiveness from the coastlines to the hinterlands.
