The Federal Government a few weeks back, on recommendation by the Minister of Transport appointed the following Executive Directors; Mr. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh is the Executive Director Finance and Administration, Mr. Joseph Oluwarotimi Fashakin is the Executive Director, Maritime Safety and Shipping Development while Mr. Gambo Ahmed is the Executive Director, Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services.


The Executive Director Finance and Administration, Mr. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh is
the son-inlaw to President Mohammadu Buhari. Until his appointment, he was an
Assistant Director in NIMASA in charge of Training and Development. He had served
in the Kaduna State government before
transferring his services to the then National Maritime Authority (NMA) in 1994. Jamoh also holds a Master’s
degree in Management from the Korea Maritime and Ocean University, with a
Diploma in Accounting from the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria.


Mr. Jamoh an Assistant Director is being elevated to an Executive Director, ahead
of his superiors, which goes contrary to Nigerian civil services guidelines. Some may say that this was a political
appointment but Mr Jamoh never resigned from NIMASA before being elevated to his
new position. Based on fairness to official hierarchy which was applied to oust a
former Executive Director, Mr. Callistus Nwabueze Obi in favour of Mr. Haruna Jauro who was a NIMASA acting DG for 72 hours after his former boss (DG) was sacked, Mr Jamoh should not have been
elevated to this position. His appointment above his superiors is a major
disregard to due process.


Obviously you don’t expect a director to take directives from a one time subordinate. This type of appointment
breeds bad blood and puts a clog in the wheels of operations and administrative
duties. In fact I am compelled to believe he was appointed because he is a
son- inlaw to President Mohammadu Buhari, being married to his daughter. This is a deceitful and improper
appointment.


Another ED appointee, Mr. Joseph Oluwarotimi Fashakin, is a well-known APC
mouthpiece as they sought for this change agenda and quite vocal to say the least. He is the Executive Director
in charge of Maritime Safety and Shipping Development. He is a Telecommunication
Engineer having graduated from the University of Ife with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Mr. Fashakin is a career telecommunication engineer and his appointment gratifies the saying that
states ‘putting a square peg in a round hole’! He is versed in his qualifications cum experience albeit in the
communication sector and one wonders why he was not appointed into the Nigerian Communication Commission,
(NCC) or even the Nigerian broadcasting Commission (NBC) where his experience
will be brought to bear and well appreciated. What does Mr. Fashakin bring to the table as far as Maritime Safety and Shipping Development are concerned?


Finally, the third appointee, Mr. Gambo Ahmed, the Executive Director of
Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services holds a Bachelor’s degree in (Business Administration) Actuarial Science from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and a Masters in Banking and Finance from
the Bayero University, Kano. Mr. Gambo has spent a number of years of his career
in the financial sector. If common sense had prevailed in this process, he should
have been assigned to Mr. Jamoh’s portfolio of finance and administration or better still sent to the Nigerian
Stock Exchange (NSE) where his wealth of experience in the sector would be well
appreciated. At a time when our economy is in dire straits, he should have been
able to introduce innovative concepts and ideas to the nation’s stock exchange
market and by so doing set a pathway to revamping our ailing economy. These
appointments are truly lopsided and unthoughtful for NIMASA’s progress.

Its comments like this that attract Thunder..bro from now avoid rain storms

Executive Directorship is a political appointment, furthermore he is very qualified with a 22 years working experience in that organisation coupled with a masters in maritime mgt.

My friend look for another reason to disqualify this person. Or do you mean because he is Buharis inlaw he should not have career progression.

No surprise there.
A nepotistic insecure failure will always disappoint when you expect him to dazzle.

With all this revelations of nepotism from bihari what other name can be given to corruption, his fable integrity ,honesty and incorruptibility are all package lies, scam, if you can not be faithful in little things one wonders when the stakes are higher, it still baffles me how he was able to scam the people and we can all see the result now as reality has set in

The fact that I'm in this wild forest called Nigeria makes me sick. Infact I see sicknesses, illment, animal attacks prevailing in this god knows where of a cursed forest. At this point I can say that I'm not living in a country rather I'm living in a open space with no law, rule, in short, I'm living in a place where people live for living sake.

This is the kind of treatment that make some of us to start looking for an alternative country other than Nigeria.
I cant read this kind of news almost on daily basis and you expect me to be patriotic, knowing too well that by tomorrow my rigthful place may be substituted to an hausa fulani on the cheap alter of nepotism or federal character.
we need our country BIAFRA, let the hausa fulani rule themselves.

All I see so far is corruption redefined.... Fighting corruption my foot. Due process is the bedrock of civil service.
