Along that effort, the Director General of the Agency, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside used the opportunity to call for more support from well-meaning
Nigerians and corporate organizations.
The NIMASA DG who was speaking at
one of the IDP camp in Abuja noted that people at the IDP camps across the
country are integral part of Nigeria; hence they should not be neglected nor
discriminated.
“We must share in the grief of our fellow citizens,
as no one wishes to find his or her self in any camp, knowing fully well that
the comfort there is minimal. Let me also assure you that in no distant time
from now, you will all return to your abodes as the Federal Government is
committed to ensuring that your safety is paramount.

“For us in
NIMASA we are not just concerned about the well-being of the maritime sector,
but as a corporate socially responsible Agency, we are concerned about your
welfare; this is why we are here to support you the best way we can,” Dr.
Peterside said.
