The association, in its congratulatory letter to the NIMASA DG dated March 24^th, 2016 and signed by Mr Funso Olojo, has assured the new helmsman at NIMASA of its support in his task of achieving the core mandate of the agency.

The association has recognized the sterling qualities of Dr Peterside, especially his high cerebral qualities and political sagacity which it noted earned him the confidence of Mr President to bestow on him the task of rebuilding the apex maritime regulatory agency.

The association therefore expressed implicit confidence in the ability of the new NIMASA DG to bring to bear on his new assignment his rich experience in public life and agility as a young administrator to better the lot of the industry.

‘’This appointment is a clarion call to duty, placing a huge burden of service to Nigeria on you, especially giving the rot in the industry.
