Lagos, May 16, 2023 – Dr. Bashir Jamoh, the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) OFR, has received an award as the “Public Servant of the Year 2022” from the Champion Newspapers Nigeria Limited.
Jamoh won his award along with some other prominent Nigerians like Governors Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, Sanwo Olu of Lagos, and Audu Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, who also received different awards.
Presenting the award on behalf of the organization in Lagos last weekend, the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Plc, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said the award was in recognition of Jamoh’s achievements in NIMASA.
The Champion Newspapers said Jamoh’s recognition was borne out of the achievements of NIMASA under his leadership as NIMASA had made fresh inputs due to his leadership skills.
“We note with delight that you are first among the leading Director-General/CEOs of government agencies in Nigeria that have distinguished themselves not only as very resourceful business managers and technocrats, but also shown a high degree of integrity and transparency in both private and public affairs.
“Your ingenious, creative, pragmatic and resilient approach to leadership has brought a lot of transformation to the NIMASA which includes deployment of an integrated national security and waterways protection infrastructure in Nigeria code-named the Deep Blue Project.
“You have demonstrated passion, dedication, competence, commitment, and dynamism leading NIMASA to contribute its quota to the rapid socio-economic development in Nigeria.”
Jamoh, while receiving the award, thanked the company for the honour, assuring that the recognition would spur him to do more.
He dedicated the award to maritime stakeholders and NIMASA staff. (GBN)
