NIMASA: Group Applauds Jamoh’s Leadership Strides, Warns Detractors

The Renewed Hope Ambassadors of Nigeria (RHAN) has commended Dr Bashir Jamoh, the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) for his leadership strides.

The group, at a press conference on Monday in Abuja, said Jamoh has introduced laudable reforms in the agency, translating to multiple gains in maritime administration and safety in Nigeria.

In his address, the national coordinator Hon. Yakubu Dauda, said Jamoh’s leadership style reflects an astonishing level of transparency and accountability.

Dauda said NIMASA under Jamoh has fulfilled its strategic mandate of regulating the maritime industry and introducing laudable reforms.

“As an astute leader, Dr Bashir Jamoh has introduced laudable reforms in the agency, translating to multiple gains in maritime administration and safety in Nigeria. His leadership style indeed reflects an astonishing level of transparency and accountability,” the group said.

“It is well known that under Dr Bashir Jamoh, NIMASA has recorded tremendous progress in fulfilling its strategic mandate of regulating the Maritime industry in Nigeria. The maritime sector that NIMASA oversees is one of the few sectors that have remained resilient in the face of the economic crisis that the country is dealing with. Only uncommon and astute leadership could have yielded such results in amidst a paucity of resources.

“It is the position of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors of Nigeria that under Dr Bashir Jamoh, the agency has been positioned to fulfil the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration. Thus, Nigerians will witness an improved and efficient maritime sector in no distant time.

“Dr Bashir Jamoh, as an administrator, displayed foresight in ensuring productivity in the NIMASA workforce through improved welfare packages and conditions of service. This is instructive and an indication that NIMASA is positioned to contribute its quota to sustainable growth and development in the country.

“The Renewed Hope Ambassadors of Nigeria commends this drive and wishes to use this medium to call on other Nigerians in leadership positions to imitate the passion and dedication of Dr Bashir Jamoh in our quest for sustainable growth and development.

The Renewed Hope Ambassadors of Nigeria, therefore, warned his detractors behind slander campaigns to desist.

While urging other Nigerian leaders to emulate Jamoh’s example, the group urged the NIMASA boss to remain focused.

“It is surprising that some faceless groups and individuals have launched a slander campaign against Dr Bashir Jamoh because it is no longer business as usual for those shortchanging the system through the maritime sector,” the statement added.

“After carefully analyzing the various narratives sponsored against Dr Bashir Jamoh in the public space, we wish to state unequivocally that those behind the slander campaign are enemies of Nigeria and democracy.

“It is on record that they have been feeding fat from the system through illicit activities that deny the government the necessary revenue from the maritime sector in the country. They have elected to throw caution in the wind by making unfounded allegations that remain a figment of their imaginations.

“The general public must be aware that these nefarious individuals and groups are bent on circumventing the system for selfish gains to the detriment of millions of Nigerians.

“We encourage Dr Bashir Jamoh to continue his drive to re-position NIMASA for greater productivity. His penchant for hard work is recognized and appreciated by the Renewed Hope Ambassadors of Nigeria. “
