as a workaholic public servant in NMA, committed to excellence, diligence and one who pioritized workers’ welfare.
According to Comrade Adeyanju, “Ferdinand was a guru in the maritime sector, who took his time in transforming the industry, which most of his predecessors are now building upon after he exited the foremost maritime agency in the country.
“During the maiden stakeholders engagement in Eko Hotel, Victoria Island by the present Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, he was present alongside his colleagues, who formed a consortium of retired DGs on the day of the memorable event.
