Managing Director/CEO of Starzs Marine and Engineering Limited, Mr Greg Ogbeifun
Chief Greg Ogbeifun is the former President, Ship Owners Association of Nigeria and Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Starz Investments Company Limited. In an interview with Chris Paul, he speaks about the sorry state of the shipping industry in Nigeria; how the crash in oil prices globally and COVID-19 pandemic are killing off Nigerian Shipping investments, with Onne as the mortuary, where they are buried. With the coming Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AFCTA), Ogbeifun is saddened that Nigerian Maritime sector may be missing in action. Government policies and stifling of Nigerian players in the sector, literally breaks his heart. How do they compete against their foreign counterpart? He would wonder. His personal experience, illustrates the tragic plight of his colleagues in the business.
