A statement signed by the Agency’s Assistant Director, Public Relations, Osagie Edward, said Nigeria’s Alternate Permanent Representative at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Mr Dirisu Abdulmumuni, was promoted to Deputy Director, alongside 61 others, while 233 other staff were elevated to their next grade levels.
The promotions were approved at a meeting of the Governing Board of the Agency held in Lagos under the chairmanship of Honourable Asita O. Asita.
The Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Bashir Jamoh, congratulated the newly promoted staff members and urged them to remain committed to the Agency’s vision of making Nigeria great by harnessing its maritime potential.
Jamoh stated, “We are committed to our promise to always motivate staff and give them a 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 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.”
Governing Board Chairman NIMASA urged newly promoted staff to commit more to their duties because promotions come with increased responsibility.
This is the second promotion exercise under Dr Jamoh’s management since he assumed office in March 2020.
