The Director-General,
Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Bashir Jamoh,
has bowed out of the agency after completing his four years tenure as the DG
and spending 30 years in active life in NIMASA.
Jamoh was directed by
the ministry to hand over to the Executive Director in charge of Finance and
Administration, Chudi Ofordile pending the time another DG would be appointed
by President Bola Tinubu.
During the handover
ceremony at NIMASA Towers in Victoria Island yesterday, Jamoh expressed
gratitude to the Federal Government for giving him the opportunity to serve in
the capacity as Director-General and urged the next leadership of the Agency to
consolidate on the gains of the past four years.
He said: “I wish to
express gratitude to Almighty Allah and the Federal Government for the
privilege given me to serve Nigeria in this capacity, as I count myself a
privileged Nigerian to have occupied this position, while also contributing my
quota to the Nigerian maritime sector.
"Let me also use
this opportunity to assure the staff of the Agency that wherever I am, I will
still remain a part of this family; a place I have spent the active 30 years of
my life.”
Jamoh also used the
opportunity to thank staff of the Agency for the cooperation enjoyed and their
professionalism in assisting the Agency in the realisation of its mandate.
He urged the workers
to keep up the good work and cooperate with the new leadership of the Agency.
On his part, Mr
Offodile thanked Jamoh for bringing his wealth of experience to the sector,
while also stating that the expertise of the outgoing DG will continue to be
required in the industry.
“I want to express my gratitude to the outgoing DG for being a guide to me upon assumption of office as the Executive Director, Finance & Administration, four years ago. The industry will continue to call on you for your expertise”, he said.
The outgoing Chief
Executive Office of the nation's apex regulatory agency was appointed as the
Director General of NIMASA on 10th of March, 2020 by former President Muhammadu
Buhari to replace Dr Dakuku Peterside.
His four years tenure
came to an end on Sunday 10th of March 2024.
