          Monumental wastes of maritime assets, as Government parastatals lose vision

          Monumental wastes of maritime assets, as Government parastatals lose vision
          Share this


          With increasing loss of vision, and
          candour, Government parastatal
          within the maritime sub-sector, including the Nigerian Inland Waterways
          Authority  (NIWA), the Nigerian Ports Authority  (NPA) and the Nigerian
          Maritime Administration and Safety Agency  (NIMASA) may have embarked on
          monumental waste of Government assets.

          Assets can be described as capital expenditure incurred with the
          tax payers labour, but soon after abandoned to waste and decay, either due to
          the usual lack of maintenance culture, a loss of original vision, or
          unwillingness to sustain the momentum of a past initiative. 

          Investigation by NOMMA showed that the current anomaly if not corrected
          would not only further fuel waste of Government assets, but become a waiting
          snare capable of withering the zeal of incoming appointees who may think it is
          the order of the day in the Nigerian Maritime sector.
          NIWA Boat in 2016
          Same boat in 2019
          Worse hit may be the Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), which it was learnt procured a giant ferry at hundreds of millions of
          Naira, with Government’s funds, named it the MF Onitsha; operated the giant
          ferry briefly,  after few years of wastage of resources, thereafter,
           abandoned it. 
          MF Onitsha had since been
          tucked beyond the public
          view, at Oyingbo, and anyone
          who hopes to find it may have to seek it out the way archaeologists dig for
          artefacts!
          It could not be confirmed, but one of our sources highlighted that years
          after its abandonment,  the MF Onitsha was brought out and repaired with
          about N40m.  It was then deployed to run errands, carrying passengers and
          performing such functions around Marina, in Lagos. 
          But not much was known of it, especially in terms of any remarkable
          performance,  before it was again abandoned at a highly unsecured place at
          Oyingbo. That never made ferry totally useless.

          Apart from becoming a reliable companion to a gunboat of the Nigeria
          Police Force (NPF) at berth, it also served as a towering companion of a number
          of fishing, passenger canoes and work vessels sailing by, and several other
          boats, who turned the MF Onitsha into living quarters for a mixed crowd of
          squatters.
          Before its rehabilitation and relaunch, the MF Onitsha had lain fallow
          at berth for long at the Lagos Marina Jetty, serving as a walkway for
          passengers boarding and disembarking from other ferries forced to double bank
          and use the more sizeable MF Onitsha as berth.
          And at an even more ignominious level during those inglorious days, the
          MF Onitsha had also served as abode for so-called ‘area boys’ and other
          undesirables, as well for sex hawkers who featured there and made brisk
          patronage.
          As at Friday, April 5, 2019, the passenger ferry, MF Onitsha, was still
          abandoned at the Oyingbo Jetty in Lagos,
          a state
          it had been since the last 12 ye
          ars.

          The vessel today has deteriorated so much that some informed sources
          while wondering how the vessel came to such inglorious retirement, politely
          advised that the only solution left for MF Onitsha is to scrap it.
          The press team had wanted to know how much million Naira was expended on it before
          it was abandoned the second time. But then, NIWA failed to respond.
          What is known however, was that, the NIWA proceeded in 2016 to acquire
          another boat built in 2016 by Sealink Marine Boatyard Lagos, and actually
          launched same in May 2016.
          The boat appeared more costly, and could be classed as state of the
          art ferry. It was probably procured at mind blowing millions of Naira; and
          perhaps being dazed by its sheer beauty simply named it NIWA! Truly, it was a
          beauty to behold!
          Sadly, in the authority’s usual characteristics,  the costly ferry
          merely served for few months, before it was withdrawn out of circulation, so as
          to enable it rot!
          On Friday April 5,  2019, when NOMMA visited the
          ferry once celebrated with funfare in Lekki, it was a none-easily recognised
          eyesore!
          Variously, efforts were made to get official reaction of NIWA, but visits and messages to the Lagos Area Office General Manager, Mr.
          Mu’azu Sambo did not yield results.
          When responses were not received from the
          Lagos Area Office,
          the intervention of the NIWA General Manager, Public Relations, Mr. Tayo
          Fadile was sought, but he merely advised that the
          inquiries be made with Sambo, since the subject of focus was in Lagos.
          Determined for a balanced report of the issue
          on ground, the team made
          another
          round of pursuit for answers from the NIWA Lagos Area Office,
          and was told that the initial inquiry was referred
          to the Marine Department, which failed to respond even after more than three
          weeks.

          The decision reached is to
          dedicate quality time to publishing and making public, whatever NIWA finally
          comes up with!
          But, anyone who believes that NOMMA erred by bringing its report up only
          after the assets were gone may adopt a forgiving mood when one realizes that
          the case with the NIMASA is still redeemable.

          The NIMASA Floating Dock sitting on the Marina waters, Lagos

          The nation’s apex maritime body very much knew it had no business
          acquiring a floating dock as a regulatory body. It nonetheless acquired one new
          built which gulped billions of Naira in 2014. 

           The agency gave two non-ignorable reasons for acquiring it: being
          highly capital intensive, it was a no go area for non-governmental body,
          despite the dare need for it.
          Secondly,  it would help Government attract hard currency for
          government, in addition to providing basic laboratory workshop for students of
          Maritime University, Okerenkoko when the school finally takes off.
          Sadly, when the NIMASA floating dock sailed into the country in early
          2018, despite the glowing rays of hope that came with it, the dock is yet to
          earn
          a dime.
          Rather, it had been gulping additional funds, denominated in Dollars,
          not  only to provid
          e enhanced
          security for it where it was tucked, the floating dock is also being maintained
          at hush hushed cost!
