The Regional Maritime University (RMU) has been urged to mandate and train skilled professionals, particularly seafarers in order to boost the country's maritime industry.
The Minister for Transport, Mr Joseph Bukari Nikpe, emphasised that the government's flagship 24-Hour Economy policy aligns with their mandate.
Speaking at the 22nd and 10th Matriculation Ceremony of the RMU, for the August 2024 and January 2025 intake held in Accra on Friday, the minister noted that RMU's role in developing manpower for the sector directly supports the government's job creation vision.
The minister also outlined the government's commitment to modernising RMU, including a proposed US$173.95 million project with the Government of Korea to enhance infrastructure and practical training resources.
