A non-governmental organisation (NGO), Mission for Rescue of Nigeria Socio-cultural Environment (MIRENSEN), has called on the United Nations (UN), governments and the public and private sectors to help in cleaning the marine environment off pollution.

Amb. Sokari Afiesimama, the Country Project Director of the Coastal Communities Working Team (CCWT), an organ of MIRENSEN, made the call in a statement issued on Tuesday and made available to newsmen in Jos, Plateau State.

According to Afiesimama, the organisation looks up to the stakeholders in tackling several marine plastic pollutions and reducing water contamination as the world prepares to observe World Ocean Day in June.

He noted that the organisation was founded for recreating a sustainable aquaculture environment and it would be prepared to make critical impressions in the commemoration of the 2023 World Ocean Day.

In his words, “If the UN and governments are serious to achieve the UN Environment Assembly schedules for cleaner oceans, then it’s reasonable to collaborate with willing non-governmental organisations, community and faith-based organisations to enforce a fight against the menace of water pollution.

“We appeal to the incoming government to be led by Bola Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima, the Vice-President-elect, Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, governors, legislators, owners of fishing vessels, seafood merchants and consumers, among others, to bringing their expertise on board to help in the project.”
