The House of Representatives Committee on Maritime Safety, Education and Administration has praised the budget implementation status of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, saying the agency has performed well, despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Chairman of the committee, Lynda Ikpeazu, stated this in Lagos during an oversight visit by members to NIMASA, according to a statement on Tuesday.

Ikpeazu expressed confidence in the current management of NIMASA led by the Director-General, Dr Bashir Jamoh.

 She said Jamoh had laid down a clear roadmap for taking the agency to greater heights and pledged the lower chamber’s support.
