The director general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh, has charged Mrs. Olubusola Obasanjo-Akande, Mr. Christopher Amakulo and 508 other staff who were promoted recently to be alive to their responsibilities.
The governing board of the agency had approved the promotion of Obasanjo-Akande and Amakulo as directors.
The board also approved the promotion of 22 assistant directors to deputy directors, 86 to assistant directors and 400 other staff to their next grade levels.
Speaking after the board had ratified the elevation of the staff, Jamoh congratulated them and noted the board’s determination to boost the morale of staff by ensuring promotion exercise takes place, as and when due, and charged them to see it as a call to higher performance.
“I am glad that the agency’s governing board has kept faith with the promise to boost staff morale through annual promotion exercises, which is aimed at ensuring staff remain committed to the ideals of the agency, while helping management actualise its mandate.
I therefore use this opportunity to congratulate the promoted staff, and see the gesture as a motivation to improve performance on the higher task,” he said.
