Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA); Dr Bashir Jamoh, over the weekend announced that timetable for the much-delayed Officer Of Watch (OOW) 2020 examinations will be released this week.

The NIMASA DG who acknowledged that the important examination could not hold in 2020 due to the ravaging COVID-19, confirmed in a tweet on Saturday that the examination timetable will be released this week, and that the examinations would follow shortly.

In the tweet, Dr Jamoh said: “Let me assure #OOW2020Set that they are not forgotten. We feel your pain and regret the inconvenience caused. #NCDC Guidelines & logistics on public gatherings now sorted. Exam dates out next week. Necessary arrangements finalized in line with NCDC requirements”.

He also advised those who are to write the examinations to “begin their revision.”

Apparently happy that the much-delayed examinations will soon start, many seafarers and stakeholders who had waited for almost one year for to write the were full of praises for the DG.

In a series of tweets which contained reactions for the good news about the examinations, the stakeholders commended the NIMASA DG.

One of them, @ObongUsanga wrote: “What a relief for those poor lads who’s already forgotten where they kept their books, I thank @JamohBashir for the swift response to savage the situation. I want to use this medium you request for a review of the marking scheme that makes 85% of the OOW candidates to fail and come back for resit exam, some end up spending more than 3yrs before they get their license. Because of delay in releasing the results and making arrangements for resit exams. Other countries of the world, seafarers write their resit after less than 3weeks”.

Another tweeter @OmeakuGlory responded: “We are sincerely grateful for the swift response to savage the situation”.

Yet another, who identified himself as Mr Capable says: “Thanks sir, we look forward to next week, with the hope that you will keep to your word as a honorable person”.

Another stakeholder; Emmanuel Maiguwa tweeted: “Thank you our dear DG @JamohBashir for paying attention. We look forward to next week for a date. Will continue supporting your responsive administration to address the many issues affecting the Nigerian Seafarers that have lingered for so long”.

“I must express my gratitude for your concern; and every role the alumni of our prestigious alma mater played to end this saga. Gracias”, says @Alwaysavictor18, also in response to the news of the OOW 2020 examinations.

Another stakeholder; Abdulazeez muktar@Azeezmuktar1 expressed excitement about the new date for the examinations. He tweeted, in response to Dr Jamoh’s tweet. He wrote: “Wow that’s credible NIMASA have been tremendous since you became the DG. More wins and great success ahead”.

Another tweeter, @EmmanitexOkon, who is obviously a seafarer, also expressed happiness about the development. He wrote, “For your swift response, we say a big thanks. We also seek your swift response to halt the delay in the release of the Examination result and license”.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
