Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has said that the economic programme of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is not only succeeding, but it is also reliable.
Dakuku stated this at the seventh edition of the Pan African International Recognition Awards/Annual Discourse held in Accra, Ghana, where NIMASA was recognized as the “Most Reliable Government Organisation of the Year.”
Organisers of the annual awards, Pan African International magazine, said NIMASA was recognised for “its giant achievements in the maritime sector, locally and globally.”
This year’s event, with the theme, “Driving Growth and Sustainable Economic Development through Good Governance – Improving Structures and Policies in Africa,” and Director of the Kenya School of Law, Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, as Keynote Speaker,
was a forum to showcase and honour leaders, organisations, and individuals who had shown commitment to the development of the continent.
Dakuku said at the award ceremony, “This honour is a testament to the success and dependability of President Muhammadu Buhari’s economic agenda. We keyed in a long time ago, and we have been running with the vision of the President to restore Nigeria to greatness.
“At NIMASA, we are also pursuing a transformational agenda, and this award is testimony to the effectiveness of our strategy.
“We are doing our bit as a strategic economic pillar in the collective task of delivering progress to majority of Nigerians.”
The Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, who represented the Director-General, received the award on behalf of the Agency.
The 2019 award is the latest recognition of the efforts by NIMASA, under the current management, to positively contribute to the socioeconomic development of Nigeria, and the African continent, in general. It comes on the heels of the “Outstanding Invaluable Company Award”, which Rotary International conferred on the Agency in March for various Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives it has embarked on in recent times.
