In what could be described as a joint commitment to turn around the socioeconomic fortune of the newly-created Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the heads of agencies and departments (Chief Executive Officers and Directors) under the ministry, on Thursday, signed a Performance Bond with the Minister, Adegboyega Oyetola.

This was revealed by the minister's spokesperson, Ismail Omipidan, via his X handle.

According to him, the initiative is aimed at strengthening efficiency, proficiency and effectiveness for the overall development of the marine and Blue Economy sector.

He further noted that, with the signing of the performance bond, the Ministry became the first to cascade the Performance Bond initially signed with President Bola Tinubu to its Directors and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs).

Recall that the Ministry had on Tuesday held a stimulating Stakeholders' Roundtable Engagement with key players in the maritime sector as part of efforts to scale up its productivity and enhance Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative for greater development.

"With this development, the Ministry becomes the first to cascade the Performance Bond initially signed with President Bola Tinubu to its Directors and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs)

"The Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy is prepared and set to actualise its deliverables and contribute to the delivery of Mr President's Renewed Hope Agenda," Omipidan said.
