Dakuku said, “We are spurred by this award and we appreciate
the fact that our efforts to revitalise the maritime sector through our medium

that the quest of the Federal Government to diversify the economy gets the
required support from the maritime sector and its stakeholders, as it portends
several opportunities for economic growth and development.”

Ogidan said, “Before, the agency cut the
figure of an organisation that was riddled with corruption and all kinds of
underhand practices. But the recent report of a huge and noticeable increase in
revenue generation from NIMASA is a big testimony of its unalloyed commitment
to playing a prominent role in the overall development of the country.”

Highlighting some of the reasons the agency

NIMASA to the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federal Government, its quest
for excellence through capacity building and promotion of staff, and automation
of processes in the agency, among others. The event was held at the Eko Hotels and
