In a formal ceremony at NIMASA Towers in Victoria Island, the outgoing Director General, Dr. Bashir Jamoh OFR, handed over the reins of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to Honorable Chudi Offodile. This transition marks the culmination of Dr. Jamoh’s four-year tenure, which concluded on March 10, 2024.
Expressing gratitude to the Federal Government for the opportunity to lead NIMASA, Dr. Jamoh urged the incoming leadership to build upon the achievements of the past four years. During the handover, he assured the agency’s staff that, despite stepping down, he remains a part of the NIMASA family, where he dedicated 30 years of his professional life.
“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 said.
Honorable Chudi Offodile, now Acting DG, acknowledged Dr. Jamoh’s guidance and wealth of experience, stating that the industry will continue to benefit from the outgoing DG’s expertise.
“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”, the Acting DG said.
The handover follows the Federal Government’s Establishment Circular outlining the “End of Tenure Processes for Heads of Extra-Ministerial Departments, Director-Generals, Chief Executive Officers of Parastatals, Agencies, Commissions, and Government-Owned Companies and Succession Guideline,” dated December 4, 2017.
NIMASA looks ahead to a new chapter under the leadership of Honorable Chudi Offodile, with expectations of continued growth and development in the Nigerian maritime sector.
Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to grasp a lot approximately this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something.
I think that you simply can do with a few p.c.
to pressure the message house a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.
A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
Thank you
