His election was announced during the 44th annual council meeting and the 19th Directors-General roundtable, which were held in Conakry, Guinea.

In his acceptance speech, Dantsoho called the achievement a milestone for West and Central African maritime states. He highlighted its significance in advancing global competitiveness and enhancing service delivery in the region’s maritime sector.

He pledged to maintain the momentum established by his predecessor, Mr. Martin Boguikuoma, while driving progress in the sector.

In a congratulatory message, Minister Oyetola described Dantsoho’s election as proof of Nigeria’s growing recognition in the global port economy.

He affirmed that the nation’s ongoing reforms positively impacted the industry and resonated with international stakeholders.
