Meet one of our panelists at the upcoming Women in Maritime Conference - Dr. Omogbai Omo-Eboh .
Dr Omogbai Omo-Eboh is a specialist in Marine Insurance law, an experienced arbitrator, an accomplished maritime law expert, an author and a commentator.

Dr. Omogbai Omo-Eboh was appointed a member of the Lagos State Law Reform Commission in 2016. He will be speaking on the topic: The role of insurance in maritime business. The importance of insurance in the highly risky shipping business cannot be overemphasised. The shipping industry is as complex.

The ability to realize profits however largely falls on the ability to mitigate risks that are inherent in the business. This topic will therefore explore how women can take advantage of marine insurance to ensure the continuing success of their maritime business.

The Women in Maritime Africa Annual Conference is here again!
It comes up on the 15th of October 2019 and registrations have started. Click the link in our bio to register.
This year’s theme is titled; “EMPOWERING WOMEN FOR EFFECTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE MARITIME SECTOR” and has been carefully selected in recognition of International Maritime Organisation (IMO)’s 2019 Gender programme on which they noted on their own Women in Maritime programme that, “There is ample evidence that investing in women is the most effective way to lift communities, companies, and even countries. Countries with more gender equality have better economic growth. Companies with more women leaders perform better (see study, The Bottom Line: Corporate Performance and Women's Representation on Boards). Peace agreements that include women are
more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legislation on key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support. The evidence is clear: equality for women means progress for all. “
Within the framework of maritime development, and through its Women in Maritime programme, under the slogan: "Training-Visibility-Recognition", IMO has taken a strategic approach towards enhancing the contribution of women as key maritime stakeholders and encourages its member states, of which Nigeria is one, to continue to do so.
This conference is therefore being organized in recognition of the work being done in this space by the IMO and similar international and national organizations. At this conference, there will be speakers from the shipping industry, maritime professionals, maritime regulators and financial institutions.
