LIMWEEK 2025 will feature roundtable sessions on key issues including maritime transport, port development, Gulf of Guinea security, marine environment, women in maritime, training and education, arbitration, and seabed mining.
High-profile speakers include; Jette Bjerrum, Consul General of Denmark; Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, Chief of Naval Staff; Dr. Dayo Mobereola, Director General of NIMASA; Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe, Executive Secretary of NCDMB; Alhaji Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, Managing Director of NIWA; and other local and international experts.
A key highlight will be the Gulf of Guinea security roundtable, which regularly attracts foreign naval participation from Denmark, the USA, France, and the UK.
LIMWEEK will also continue its signature mentorship initiative, pairing young professionals with seasoned industry leaders to prepare the next generation for maritime leadership.
Over the years, LIMWEEK has drawn participants from across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. This year, Liberia joins the growing list of countries represented.
