The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has drawn a new line in the sand, holding a no-nonsense strategic management retreat to align its operations with the Presidential and Ministerial priorities for Nigeria’s maritime and blue economy sector.
The retreat, which brought together departmental and unit heads, ended on a historic note with the signing of performance bonds—a bold move that ties leadership deliverables directly to accountability and measurable outcomes.
NIMASA’s Director General/CEO, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, left no room for excuses as he addressed the Agency’s staff, warning that the era of sluggish service and bureaucratic bottlenecks is over.

“The signing of this bond is not symbolic; it is binding,” Dr. Mobereola declared. “Every Head of Department and Unit must cascade the outcomes and expectations from this retreat to their subordinates without delay. Anyone found underperforming will be held accountable.”
The retreat went beyond speeches. It featured heated strategy sessions, peer reviews, and robust discussions designed to unlock Nigeria’s maritime potential and reposition the sector as a powerhouse of the nation’s blue economy.
With the performance bonds now in place, NIMASA’s leadership has effectively placed itself on the clock—committing to deliver on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that align with the Federal Government’s vision of a lean, efficient, and performance-driven civil service.
The message from the retreat was clear: NIMASA is raising the bar, and Nigeria’s maritime industry must now run on results, not rhetoric.
