The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside has highlighted
his Management's determination to make the Agency a world class, high
performance organisation.
Dr. Peterside who said this during the
Management Performance Review (MPR) of the Agency in Lagos said that the
Agency’s repositioning would be beneficial to the entire maritime sector.
According to the DG, “there is no organization
that can grow without innovation and the MPR affords us a rare opportunity to
assess our journey thus far. It is a rare privilege to match set goals with
results…to assess ourselves on how far we have gone in this journey".
The DG noted that "when I joined you
in NIMASA we sat down and agreed to build a world class high performance organization.
In subscribing to that, we set out to craft a Medium Term Strategic plan which
would be our roadmap. We have already started the critical elements of the things
we agreed that are necessary to build a world class maritime organization. One
is the automation of our processes and to fast track this, we set up a special
taskforce. It is our vision that by October, NIMASA would be fully automated”.
The DG noted that the dream of the Agency is
to be recognized as the foremost maritime regulatory Agency in Africa that is
the pride of the continent.
Dr. Peterside who said that the Agency has
the duty to facilitate maritime business not to stifle it also assured
stakeholders that NIMASA will create an enabling environment that would satisfy
the yearnings of all.
"The bigger picture is to build a world class, high performance organization
that would satisfy the interest and yearnings of our clients as well as serve
the interest of the country that set us up. We are indeed facilitators of
maritime business, therefore we will not stifle it" he concluded.
