President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to discontinue payment to Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Limited (GWVSNL) for the provision of platforms for security of the nation’s waterways, an authoritative source at the Federal Ministry of Transport (FMOT) has disclosed exclusively to SHIPS & PORTS DAILY.

GWVSNL is reportedly owned by a former Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpomupolo, also known as ‘Tompolo’.

The source who does not want his identity disclosed because he was not authorised to officially speak on the matter, said the payment had been stopped since June.

He said the Permanent Secretary of the FMOT, Mohammed Bashir has directed the Director General of NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi not to make any more payments for the controversial maritime security contract until further notice.

Good.
next,take the NDDC and start Downsizing .
Scrap that Niger delta ministry which is doing nothing but paying salaries and building latrines.
You need no more than 50 people (46 developmental experts and 4 secretaries ) to run the NDDC.
Money which ought to be going to build bridges, roads, water works and homes is being used to pay salaries to unproductive staffs.
