Nigerian Shippers Council Act obsolete, says NIMASA DG

 

The Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Bashir Jamoh has told the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) to work towards reviewing its enabling law, which he says is not in tandem with modern reality.

“Now that you have come on board, it is worthy of note that the Nigerian Shippers Council Act was enacted through Decree 13 of 1978, and you will agree with me that modern day reality may necessitate another look at your enabling Act,” Jamoh was quoted as saying while speaking when the Executive Secretary of NSC, Pius Ukeyima Akutah visited him last week.

A press statement issued on the visit by NIMASA quoted Akutah as commending the NIMASA management for its “achievements’.

“I must commend NIMASA management for the visionary leadership under Dr. Jamoh. During some of our sessions at the ministerial level, I admire the achievements of NIMASA management during presentations.

We thus seek collaboration so we can leverage on these feats,” the NSC boss was quoted as saying.
