The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, has directed immediate financial and staff audit of the Nigerian Maritime and Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).

The minister gave the directive on Monday during his maiden tour of Lagos ports and a stop-over at NIMASA Resource Centre, Kirikiri.

Amaechi also directed the Acting Director-General of NIMASA, Mr Haruna Jauro, to forward details of contracts awarded by the agency for verification.

The former Rivers governor demanded a detailed financial report of the agency since its inception

“Over N100 billion is given to this agency yearly and I am yet to see how it has been spent. I am yet to see some of the projects being executed by this agency,’’ Amaechi said.

The minister also requested for the staff nominal roll and details of staff employed by the agency and their qualifications.

He instructed the acting director-general to forward the staff nominal roll of the agency to the Federal Ministry of Transport to know if there were vacancies to be filled.

Amaechi expressed dissatisfaction with the ill-equipped clinic laboratory at the NIMASA Resource centre.

“From my inspection so far, I discovered that the Search and Rescue clinic is not equipped; the canteen is in deteriorated condition; the chairs are not okay and the place is leaking,’’ the minster said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that NIMASA is the apex regulatory and promotional maritime agency in the country.

The agency was created from the merger of National Maritime Authority (NMA) and Joint Maritime Labour Industrial Council on Aug. 1, 2006.

Earlier, the minister directed the management of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to work toward achieving 48 hours cargo clearance target when he visited the headquarters of the agency in Lagos.

He said he had promised President Muhammadu Buhari that he would ensure Nigerian ports achieved 48 hours cargo clearance target.

Nice one there.

Firefire come as see Awa Hero Working.

And to think the Wailers call him Corrupt?

I am fully aligned with all probes to unravel where our wealth has gone over the years.

This is time to ask all our past leaders to come and give the stewardship of their service to the nation.


Very soon, it will be the turn of all past looters of our 'SECURITY VOTES'.

God bless Nigeria.

Na So!

If you took an audit of ANY Nigeria organization you will find it culpable..even the new dg Jauro his hands are not clean.
But what beats my imagination is why this people can't steal and still work at least.
Imagine roofs leaking, poorly equipped laboratories and broken canteen and worse of all, no chairs.
Just a fraction of the allocation to nimasa would have fixed that.
Anyways Akpobolemi is already in court.
Hearing the news, will just send his BP racing

Corruption has really dealt a blow to us all.
I pray to make a change someday.

probe, investigation, bail, jail, corruption, efcc, and nobody is talking about reviving the economy?

Abeg they should also come to Rivers state and look into the mono rail.

Great

Mehn.this is getting real

OZAOEKPE:

There is nothing to revive. Our hero left a perfect economy, the biggest in Africa and one of the biggest in the world.

So for now we are looking for yam eaters. They are not complaining. Why are you wailing on behalf on lawyers, Police and EFCC?

The change we voted for is well and truly underway.
