Consequently , the NSWB has called for online voluntary free support so that it can continue to provide succour for the distressed Seafarers of all Nationalities in the areas of social , moral and spiritual well being.
The Board , which Chairman in Nigeria is Otunba Kunle Folarin said in a statement that the support should be provided strictly in line with the National, State and Government Maritime Agencies directives on COVID – 19 Pandemic.
