The Rise, Fall and Liquidation of Africa’s Premier Carriers: Nigerian National Shipping Line and Black Star Line by Dr. Edmund Chilaka has been recommended to everyone who operates in the maritime space and whoever is interested in national and global development generally.
The book, which is the culmination of a Ph.D. research on the activities of the first two shipping lines to be floated by the governments of Ghana and Nigeria in 1957 and 1959, bridges a critical gap in their understanding for the maritime space. It examines and analyses the establishments, the efflorescence, the collapse and liquidation of the Nigerian National Shipping Line (NNSL).
