The Director-General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, while congratulating the newly promoted workers encouraged them to remain committed to the agency’s vision of making Nigeria great through sustainable harnessing of its huge maritime potential.

“We are committed to our promise to always motivate staff and give them reason for hard work. The promotion process was rigorous but fair to all involved.

“I congratulate the newly promoted staff and say to them that the reward for hard work is more work. Promotion is the reward for hard work, and a qualification for higher responsibilities.

“I congratulate all our staff who have been promoted and implore them to see their elevation as a call to more dedication.

“On our part as Executive Management, we will continue to ensure that staff are promoted as and when due so that they are motivated to give their best in the Agency’s drive to make maritime a key element in the country’s economic diversification agenda,” Jamoh said.

The Chairman of the NIMASA Governing Board enjoined the newly promoted staff to be more dedicated to their duties, saying the promotions will come with more responsibilities.

The promotion exercise is the second under the present management since it assumed office in March 2020.
