The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has been recognized by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) as the best government agency for exemplary teamwork, quality service delivery, and consistency.
Additionally, the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy was rated the overall best-performing ministry in the country.
Jumoke Oduwole, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on ease of doing business, announced that NIMASA’s 33 operational activities were rigorously evaluated alongside those of 36 other federal agencies. Oduwole praised NIMASA and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, for their unwavering commitment to improving service delivery across the board.
“We want to commend NIMASA and Adegboyega Oyetola for their dedication to enhancing the efficiency of all agencies under the Ministry,” Oduwole stated.
Dayo Mobereola, Director General of NIMASA, expressed his gratitude on his official X handle @MobereolaD, dedicating the award to NIMASA’s staff and acknowledging the Minister’s support in creating an investor-friendly environment in the Nigerian maritime sector.
“This award from PEBEC and the presidency is a call to serve more. We appreciate our Minister, Adegboyega Oyetola, who not only facilitated meetings between NIMASA and the PEBEC secretariat but also continuously motivated us to deliver better service to our stakeholders,” Mobereola said.
PEBEC, chaired by Vice President Kassim Shettima, was established to eliminate bureaucratic barriers to doing business in Nigeria, aiming to make the country a more conducive environment for business growth. This aligns with the Business Facilitation Act 2023, which legislates the promotion of transparency and efficiency in the business environment through codified executive orders.
