Baze University, Abuja, has called for increased investment in Nigeria's blue economy, stating that aquatic resources could drive job creation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth with adequate funding and effective policies. Professor Pauline Onyeukwu made the call during the university's eighth inaugural lecture. She noted that Nigeria's rivers, lakes, streams, and dams offer significant economic opportunities but require substantial public investment and entrepreneurs to develop viable businesses. She emphasized that the blue economy is capital-intensive and needs federal government support.
