Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, says Nigeria’s maritime sector is a haven of opportunities for the world to exploit.

Rotimi-Amaechi- NEW

Amaechi said on Tuesday at the virtual 2021 Greek-Nigeria Chamber of Commerce and Technology Investment and Trade Forum that Nigeria is a strategic destination for investments opportunities by Greece.

He stressed that the maritime sector should be particularly attractive to Greek trading and shipping financing.

The minister noted that security on Nigeria’s waterways had improved so tremendously as to encourage increased investments.

According to him, Nigeria is open to investments in seaports and other maritime activities.

“Presently there is huge investment in security and efforts are in place to sustain it,’’ he said.

Amaechi also said that Federal Government’s approval for the construction of three new seaports is critical in boosting efficient transportation system.

The new seaports would be at Onne, Rivers; Lekki in Lagos State and Warri in Delta.

Amaechi said the Lekki Seaport would be inaugurated in December 2022.

Earlier, Mr Emeka Offor, Managing Director, Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), restated the commission’s commitment to assist investors to navigate challenges in investing in Nigeria.

He noted that the Federal Government had shown strong commitment in addressing the challenges militating against investments.

According to him, Nigeria is one of the most entrepreneurial, innovative and ingenious economies in Africa.

“The Federal Government has put in place reforms that would ensure that Nigeria moves up in terms of ease of doing business.

“Nigeria enacted the Companies and Allied Matters Act supported by the Finance Act so it is easier to do business in Nigeria now,’’ Offor said.

While identifying possible areas of interest for investments, Offor pointed out that the 36 states in the federation and the FCT have various areas of competitive advantage.

“Nigeria is critically endowed with sectors of interests to investors and the NIPC will continue to provide the positive information that would guide the investors to make informed decisions,’’ Offor said.

He added that Nigeria is better positioned as an ideal gateway economy for leveraging African Continental Free Trade Agreement.

According to him, Nigeria with a large domestic market; expanded market for Nigerian goods and services, creating jobs and economic growth, positions the country as an ideal gateway economy.

He added that Nigeria’s manufacturing value addition is more than seven times the average of the top 20 economies in Africa.

In his contribution, Mr Olukayode Pitan, Managing Director/CEO Bank of Industry said that investment in technology was an area that should be explored.

He identified Nigeria’s creative industry as being very active with about 73 billion dollars.

Pitan expressed the BoI’s willingness to give loans to investors at subsidised rates to encourage businesses.

Mr Deriziotis Konstantinos, Member Board of Directors, Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that Nigeria opened up windows of opportunities where a deepened bilateral cooperation would become profitable for both countries.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
