The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) is taking significant steps to enhance the global employment opportunities for Nigerian-certified seafarers by strengthening diplomatic ties with key shipping nations. This strategic initiative, revealed by NIMASA’s Director General, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, in Lagos, aims to tackle the persistent challenges faced by Nigerian seafarers seeking employment on internationally flagged vessels.

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, and Chatham House London have agreed that the issue of Maritime Security in the Gulf of Guinea should be raised at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) this month, emphasizing the progress made by NIMASA in combating piracy and sea robbery in the region.
