NIMASA Debunks Nepotism Allegations Says Structure Based On Merit Professionalism

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, (NIMASA) has debunked allegations of nepotism against some senior staff of the agency from the Southern region to favour those from the Northern region.

 

NIMASA, while reacting to a publication by an online medium in a press statement issued by the Assistant Director Public Relations of the agency Osagie Edward, described the report as subjective, smirking mischief, skewed to achieve the goals of the fabricator, and meant to mislead Nigerians.

The agency explained that under leadership of Dr. Bashir Jamoh, it is worthy of note that the Agency’s approved organogram has 9 directorates and 11 autonomous units noting that at  present NIMASA has 12 Directors with all but one of them promoted under Jamoh’s administration.

 

The breakdown shows that 5 are from South South, 3 from South West, 2 from South East and 1 each from North East and North West.

 

“We wish to put on record that the two Directors promoted this year were both from Southern Nigeria. This implies that the ratio of the Agency’s Director from South to North is 10:2, representing over 83% Southern Directors, as against less than 17% Northern Directors.

 

“The Directors of Marine Environment Management Department, Special Duties, Data Management Services, Deep Blue and Secretary General of Abuja MoU are all from the South South geopolitical zone.

 

“The South West has Directors of Internal Audit, SERVICOM, and Maritime Labour Services Western Zone, while the Directors of Cabotage and Planning and Research Departments are from the South East. The North East and North West have one Director each, heading the Western Zonal Region and the Reform Coordination Unit respectively.

 

“It is imperative to note that competent professionals from Southern Nigeria are heading seven (7) out of the eleven (11) autonomous Units of the Agency including the Agency’s spokesperson who is from South-South geopolitical Zone.

 

“While we urge media practitioners to always cross check their facts before going to press, the allusion by Messrs Ships and Ports that the Agency has an office in Jos, Plateau State is misleading. This is a misrepresentation of facts, which is capable of misinforming the public, as the Agency has never operated an office in Plateau State” the statement reads
