On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu appointed Dr. Dayo Mobereola as the new Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), with an initial term of four years, subject to renewal.

This decision came following the conclusion of Mr. Bashir Jamoh’s tenure as the head of the agency, according to a statement by the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s X account.

“President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr Dayo Mobereola to serve as the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) for a renewable term of four years.
“The appointment follows the exit of Mr Bashir Jamoh, whose tenure recently expired,” the statement read in part.
The statement also highlighted President Tinubu’s expectations for Dr. Mobereola to leverage his extensive experience in his new position to fulfil NIMASA’s objectives.

These include upholding world-class standards in maritime safety administration, recognizing maritime labour, preventing and controlling maritime pollution, conducting search and rescue operations, enforcing cabotage, fostering shipping development, and managing ship registration.
