BREAKING: President Tinubu approves key appointments in NPA, NIMASA

In a groundbreaking development, President Bola Tinubu has given the green light to significant changes within the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). Approving a series of key appointments, President Tinubu has appointed new Executive Directors to pivotal positions within these critical agencies under the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy. The appointed executives include Ms. Vivian C. Richard Edet, Engr. Olalekan Badmus, Engr. Ibrahim Abba Umar, Mr. Jibril Abba, Mr. Chudi Offodile, and Engr. Fatai Taye Adeyemi, each assigned to crucial roles within NPA and NIMASA.

Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, conveyed this significant move through an official statement. Ngelale emphasized that these appointments align with President Tinubu’s vision to efficiently execute the collective mandate of the new appointees. The aim is to create conditions that will significantly enhance the contribution of the Marine & Blue Economy sector to the nation’s GDP. This initiative is set to propel the evolution of the Nigerian economy into a labor-intensive and inclusive one, creating new opportunities for all Nigerians in accordance with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

President Tinubu’s decision to reshuffle the leadership in NPA and NIMASA signifies a strategic move to reshape the maritime landscape. The President believes that the appointed individuals, given their impressive profiles, will expedite the execution of their mandate. This includes fostering conditions for the Marine & Blue Economy sector to play a more substantial role in the nation’s economic growth, all under the guidance of the Honourable Minister of Marine & Blue Economy, H.E. Adegboyega Oyetola. The unprecedented nature of these appointments has sparked interest and anticipation regarding the potential impact on Nigeria’s maritime and blue economy sectors.
