1 min read
The Bayelsa State governor has appealed to the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) towards establishing a maritime academy, enhancing security within its maritime domain and developing its deep seaport.
Diri, who disclosed this on Monday, September 7, 2020 when he paid a courtesy visit to the NIMASA Director-General, Dr. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh, in Lagos, said the state had re-opened the process of establishing the academy and recognised the agency as vital to actualising the project.
The governor, in a statement by his Acting Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, noted that Nigeria’s real wealth and that of Bayelsa were in its maritime environment and that his administration was ready to tap into the resources to improve the state’s revenue profile.
