The Nigerian Maritime Law Association (NMLA) has given the National Assembly a May 2027 deadline to clear all pending maritime bills before the expiration of its tenure. The association warned that further delays could undermine efforts to translate Nigeria's maritime policies and international commitments into effective laws and enforcement. It also urged the federal government to accelerate the domestication of outstanding international maritime treaties and adequately resource enforcement agencies. The NMLA made the call in a statement by its President, Mr. Mike Igbokwe, SAN, to mark the 2026 World Maritime Day.
