Last week, our Associates, Bababode Adesoji (who also served as a member of the Planning Committee), Ifeanyichukwu Imala and Esther Chima , attended the 14th Annual One-day Maritime Law Seminar 2024, themed "Revitalising Nigeria's Maritime Industry for Sustainable Prosperity and Global Competitiveness" organised by the Nigerian Maritime Law Association. The seminar was divided into two parts: Foremost was a panel session with three panelists that extensively discussed ‘the revitalization of Admiralty Practice in Nigeria’. The second part was a debate session on "Resolving Jurisdictional Conflicts and Hurdles for Economic Prosperity: NPA, NIWA, and NIMASA in View,". The sessions were enriching as they covered several spheres including forging a career within the maritime industry, factors impeding the progress of the maritime industry (which includes conflicting provisions of the law, and the lack of proper appreciation of the sui-generis nature of the maritime sector by judges and the law makers), Judicial Sale of Vessel, the appropriateness of judicial insistence on Undertaking for Damages (for purposes of arrest of a ship), the plurality of the same functions across the Maritime Agencies, the importance of updating and harmonization of industry laws, and so much more. #PaulUsoroandCo #MaritimeLaw #Maritime #Seminar #NMLA
