NSDP: NIMASA Presents Certificates To 788 Seafarers

Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA); Dr. Bashir Jamoh has presented certificates to 788 seafarers who have graduated from the agency’s Nigerian Seafarers Development Programme (NSDP).

Presenting the certificates to the graduands, the DG of NIMASA, said the agency is intensifying the training and certification of seafarers to enhance the country’s position in an increasingly competitive maritime world, especially now that maritime is being positioned to play a central role in Nigeria’s economic diversification drive.

Jamoh stated that, “seafarers are the lifeblood of shipping, and shipping is not only an economic imperative for us in Nigeria, it is also a key part of the country’s economic diversification effort. Our investment in the training of seafarers is deliberate; it is part of our shipping development agenda.”

He told them, “The essence of this training is for us to have the right people. Now it is left for you to translate what you have learnt into practice as you do your job. In so doing port efficiency would improve, which would translate to the attractiveness of the country’s ports worldwide, and ships would be attracted and able to come.

“From today we should start seeing changes as a result of the training you have received, we should see general improvement in port handling. We need to see improvement in three stages: short-term, medium-term, and long-term.”

According to Jamoh, the short-term changes relate to the ability of the seafarers to apply what they learned in the classroom to their job. The second stage is the medium-term, which has to do with noticeable changes in their activities, changes in terms of everything they do as seafarers.

“You should be able to cause those shipowners, who currently say they are not disposed to hiring our seafarers, to have a rethink,” Jamoh stated. “Then, the third stage, the long-term, is self-development or follow-up trainings,” he added.

The Director-General said the Agency had invested a lot to ensure that the seafarers were well trained and qualified to compete with their colleagues in other parts of the world. He asked them to make the best use of the opportunity given to them to improve themselves and make Nigeria proud.  

The seafarers received certificates in both mandatory courses and specific areas of specialisation for career progression, including Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), Oil Tanker Familiarisation (OTF), Efficient Deck Hand (EDH), International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) awareness training, and Dynamic Positioning (DP)
