Retreat: NIMASA DG pledges to enforce performance -driven civil service

The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) Dr. Dayo Mobereola, has emphasized that the present administration is focused on a performance-driven civil service.

Mobereola stated this at the just concluded strategic retreat aimed at cascading the Presidential and Ministerial priorities for the maritime and blue economy sector across all levels of the Agency.

The retreat ensured that staff deliverables are directly aligned with the vision of the Federal Government and the supervising Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.

As part of the retreat, Departmental and Unit Heads signed Performance Bonds with the Executive Management, signaling a strong commitment to accountability and measurable outcomes.

Addressing staff, the Director General/CEO of NIMASA, Mobereola, said, “The signing of this bond is not symbolic; it is binding,” Dr. Mobereola stressed. “Every Head of Department and Unit must cascade the outcomes and expectations from this retreat to their subordinates without delay. Anyone found creating bottlenecks or underperforming will be held accountable.”

The Performance Bonds, he noted, represent a formal pledge to deliver measurable results in line with the Agency’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the broader mandate of repositioning the maritime sector for growth.

The retreat also featured robust discussions, peer reviews, and strategy sessions designed to unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s maritime sector, ensuring that NIMASA continues to play a pivotal role in advancing the nation’s blue economy agenda.
