March 10, 2020, marked Dakuku Peterside’s last day in office
as the director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety
Agency (NIMASA).
Bashir Jamoh succeeded Peterside who has occupied the office
for four years since his appointment in 2016.
Jamoh is expected to spend four years in office as NIMASA
DG.
NIMASA was created on August 1, 2006, when the National
Maritime Authority was merged with the Joint Maritime Labour Industrial
Council.
The agency is responsible for the development, protection
and manpower training in the shipping industry. It also monitors marine
pollution and spillage in Nigerian waters.
Tweets shared on the agency’s Twitter handle showed that a
valedictory programme was held for Peterside on Tuesday.
Here is a glimpse
into Jamoh’s life up till the moment his appointment as NIMASA DG was approved.
ACCOUNTANT AND AUTHOR
Jamoh can be described as an accountant because to some
extent, he practised as one.
He holds a diploma in accounting from the Institute of
Administration at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. He bagged this degree in
1986.
In May 1987, he joined the Farmers Supply Company as the
accountant for produce purchase. In 1989, he became the assistant produce
purchase manager of the company and subsequently became the principal
procurement officer.
The new NIMASA DG also explores his literary prowess; having
published a book ‘Harnessing Nigeria’s Maritime Assets – Past, Present &
Future’.
REACHED MANAGEMENT
LEVEL SINCE 2003
Jamoh joined NIMASA in 2003 as an assistant chief commercial
officer for the eastern and central zones; a management level position.
He occupied the role for four years serving as a desk
officer for shipment operations, computing applications for the 3% NMA levy and
monitoring the inward/outward movement of vessels from various ports under the
eastern & central zonal offices namely: Port Harcourt port, Onne port,
Warri/Sapele port, Calabar port.
By March 2007, he was appointed as the assistant chief
administrative officer/ chief administrative officer, training.
RISEN THROUGH THE
RANKS
In total, Jamoh has spent 17 years out of his 56 years on
earth working at NIMASA.
During this 17-year period, he has occupied seven positions
within the agency.
Perhaps as a mark of his versatility, he belongs to 15
professional bodies ranging from management, logistics and transport, transport
administration and maritime economics to mention a few.
He is also the current president of the Chartered Institute
of Transport Administration of Nigeria (CIoTA).
BUHARI’S FATHER
Jamoh was probably guided by intuition to name his Buhari.
Not knowing that he would be appointed to a place of authority by his son’s
namesake.
His son is named Buhari Bashir Jamoh.
