President Bola Tinubu has approved Dr Dayo Mobereola’s appointment as the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) for a renewable term of four years.
Mobereola’s appointment follows the exit of Mr Bashir Jamoh, whose tenure recently expired.
Mobereola, a PH.D and an M Sc holder in Transport Economics from the University of Wales, United Kingdom (UK), is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport in England and Nigeria.
His extensive experience includes serving as the Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) from 2003 to 2015 and as the Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos State from 2015 to 2016.
In the private sector, he held positions such as Deputy Managing Director and Project Development Director at AFM Consulting Plc, London, and Senior Economist at British Petroleum Shipping Limited, London.
The President expects Mobereola to leverage his vast expertise in his new role, ensuring NIMASA upholds world-leading standards in maritime safety administration, maritime labor regulation, marine pollution prevention and control, search and rescue, cabotage enforcement, shipping development, and ship registration.
The above efforts align with the policies and programs of the Renewed Hope Agenda for the sector, guided by the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, H.E. Adegboyega Oyetola.
