The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has concluded a strategic retreat aimed at aligning the Agency’s goals and objectives with the Presidential and Ministerial priorities for the maritime and blue economy sector.
The retreat, which brought together Departmental and Unit Heads, was designed to cascade the outcomes and expectations to all levels of the Agency.

According to Dr. Dayo Mobereola, Director General/CEO of NIMASA, the present administration is focused on a performance-driven civil service.

He emphasized that the signing of Performance Bonds by Departmental and Unit Heads with the Executive Management is a formal pledge to deliver measurable results in line with the Agency’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

“The signing of this bond is not symbolic; it is binding,” Dr. Mobereola stressed.
“Every Head of Department and Unit must cascade the outcomes and expectations from this retreat to their subordinates without delay. Anyone found creating bottlenecks or underperforming will be held accountable.”
The retreat featured robust discussions, peer reviews, and strategy sessions designed to unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s maritime sector.
The goal is to ensure that NIMASA continues to play a pivotal role in advancing the nation’s blue economy agenda.

With this new era of accountability and performance, NIMASA is poised to make significant strides in repositioning the maritime sector for growth.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Director/Head, Public Relations of the agency, Osagie Edward, FNIPR.
