Ghana's Maritime Academy boss unveils its economic importance.
Authorities of the Regional Maritime Academy, Accra, Ghana, have left Cameroon after two weeks of sensitisation tour, convinced of having coerced Cameroonians into understanding the economic importance of the maritime and shipping profession. Two of its authorities last Thursday gave a press conference to that effect in the nation's capital Yaounde to explain what graduates from the school stand to gain. Throughout their explanatory tour of Cameroon, the authorities made a detailed presentation of the school, with specific focus on its aims and objectives, membership and governance, courses and training programmes, etc. The establishment of the Regional Maritime Academy Accra, Ghana, represents the deep realisation of its member countries of the urgent need for close regional cooperation, with regard to the training of personnel in order to ensure the sustained growth and progress of their maritime industries and that of the entire sub-region. The academy in Ghana serves the Anglophone countries while the one in Abidjan serves the Francophone countries. The school is dedicated to the continual development of the Maritime industry in the sub-region and beyond through capacity building of the highest international standard. It has developed educational programmes that ensure continuous supply of quality personnel to meet the expectations of the maritime industry. It has equally built up the capacity of its graduates to meet the demand and challenges of the maritime industry and related fields. The academy is a regionalised tertiary institution, with its membership drawn from the Republic of Cameroon, The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
