President of the Nigerian Maritime Law Association (NMLA), Mrs. Funke Agbor SAN, has been re-elected into the Executive Council of the Comité Maritime International (CMI) for another three-year term.
The re-election took place during the General Assembly of the CMI, which was held on 18th May 2025. This re-election is a clear reaffirmation of the confidence of the global maritime law community in Nigeria, particularly in the leadership and contributions of Mrs. Agbor, who was first elected into the Council in 2022.
Mrs. Agbor also led a high-level Nigerian delegation to the 2025 CMI Assembly in Tokyo, Japan, where a number of major resolutions were adopted. Notably, the Assembly adopted the Lex Maritima, a global guidance on the foundational principles of maritime law.
The Nigerian Maritime Law Association remains committed to advancing the development and promotion of maritime law in Nigeria. It continues to serve as the country’s foremost professional body for maritime legal practitioners and stakeholders and represents Nigeria as a proud member of the Comité Maritime International (CMI).
