The collapse of the Nigerian National Shipping Line (NNSL) has intensified concerns about the country’s ability to develop its indigenous seafarer workforce. NNSL’s operational difficulties have significantly reduced the company’s capacity to train and onboard new personnel. This situation threatens to exacerbate the existing skills deficit within the maritime sector. Government officials are exploring alternative training programs and partnerships to mitigate this risk. The long-term impact on Nigeria’s shipping industry is being closely monitored.
