The Director of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola has tasked staff of the agency on the delivery of the Presidential and Ministerial priorities for the maritime and blue economy sector across all levels.

According to the statement which was made available to Maritime Bits, the decision of NIMASA management to organize what it “strategic retreat” was aimed at cascading the Presidential and Ministerial priorities.
It revealed that as part of the retreat, Departmental and Unit Heads signed performance bonds with the executive management, signaling a strong commitment to accountability and measurable outcomes.
The statement also quoted Mobereola emphasizing that the present administration is focused on a performance-driven civil service.
His words: “The signing of this bond is not symbolic; it is binding. Every Head of Department and Unit must cascade the outcomes and expectations from this retreat to their subordinates without delay. Anyone found creating bottlenecks or underperforming will be held accountable.”
The NIMASA helmsman noted that the performance bonds represent a formal pledge to deliver measurable results in line with the agency’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the broader mandate of repositioning the maritime sector for growth.
