The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr. Dayo Mobereola has charged staff of the Agency to build on the gains of the Agency in the last few years in order to drive further progress.
Dr. Mobereola who said this at a 2-day Senior Management Strategy Session on the NIMASA Medium-Term Strategic Plan (September 2025- August 2028) hosted at the Nigeria Maritime Resource Development Centre, Apapa, Lagos, listed the achievements recorded under the supervision of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, to include four consecutive years of zero piracy incidents in Nigerian waters, Nigeria’s election into the Category C of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) after 14 years, and lifting of the 12-year Condition of Entry (CoE) imposed by the United States Coast Guard on vessels originating from Nigerian ports and destined for USA among others.
The DG challenged staff not to rest on their oars emphasising that sustaining and building on these gains requires a more disciplined and performance-driven approach.
In his words, “sustaining and building on these gains requires a more disciplined, performance-driven approach, and the decisions we take here will not only shape our internal processes but also impact the broader trajectory of Nigeria’s maritime sector”.
