Speaking to Vanguard Maritime Report, Mrs Margareth Orakwusi, of the Maritime Trade Group of the The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture, NACCIMA, said that Africa is losing billions of Dollars to the illegal fishing by European and Chinese vessels.
Orakwusi also said that it is a war Africa will take to the United Nation adding that the issue of the invasion of the continent’s waters was not a Nigerian problem alone, adding that one nation alone cannot address the problem.
She explained that Africans need to build capacity to face these foreigners who are believed to have the backing of the their home countries.
