The election, held during the IMO General Assembly in London, marks Nigeria\u2019s triumphant return to the Council after a 14-year absence, restoring the nation to global reckoning among the comity of maritime nations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, His Excellency Dr Adegboyega Oyetola, CON, who led Nigeria\u2019s campaign, said the victory crowns over twelve months of intensive diplomacy shuttles, targeted engagements and sustained advocacy across various countries and maritime blocs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking moments after the results were declared, Dr Oyetola described Nigeria\u2019s election as \u201ca landmark endorsement of the renewed confidence the world has in Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, \u201cThis victory is not just for Nigeria; it is a vote of confidence in our maritime reforms, our security efforts in the Gulf of Guinea, and the bold vision of His Excellency President Tinubu to unlock the full potential of the blue economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Minister emphasised that the election represents a major boost to Nigeria\u2019s profile in global maritime governance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur return to the IMO Council after fourteen years signals that Nigeria is back \u2014 stronger, more strategic and more determined to contribute meaningfully to shaping the future of global shipping, maritime safety and sustainable ocean governance. We worked tirelessly, travelling across continents, building bridges and reaffirming Nigeria\u2019s readiness to take up this responsibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr Oyetola expressed profound appreciation to President Tinubu for providing the full support that made the campaign successful despite the highly competitive nature of the election.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMr President gave us every encouragement, every backing and every resource we needed to prosecute this campaign. His leadership opened doors and inspired immense goodwill from across the world,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also thanked the international maritime community for believing in Nigeria, affirming that the results demonstrate broad trust in the reforms being undertaken by the Tinubu administration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe world has stood with us, and we do not take this for granted. Nigeria will serve with integrity, commitment and a strong sense of responsibility,\u201d he pledged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Minister further commended the Technical Committee of Experts chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, Mr Olufemi Oloruntola, acknowledging their strategic coordination, meticulous planning and enduring commitment to Nigeria\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With this election, Nigeria joins 19 other nations in Category C &#8211; countries recognised for their special interests in maritime transport and navigation and selected to ensure balanced geographical representation within the IMO Council. The elected states in Category C are: Bahamas, Belgium, Cyprus, Chile, Cyprus, Egypt, Finland, Indonesia, Jamaica, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and South Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Countries elected into Category B, representing nations with the largest interests in international seaborne trade, are Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Category A, comprising the world\u2019s leading providers of international shipping services, saw the election of China, Greece, Italy, Japan, Liberia, Norway, Panama, Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nigeria\u2019s return to the Council is expected to bring significant benefits to the country\u2019s maritime and blue economy sectors, strengthening international partnerships, enhancing access to technical support, boosting investor confidence and reinforcing Nigeria\u2019s leadership role in the Gulf of Guinea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have earned the world\u2019s confidence.
