Thursday’s sack of Mr. Patrick Ziakede Akpobolokemi as Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) could very well open the door for long-demanded reforms in the agency, commentators have noted.
The termination of Mr. Akpobolokemi’s appointment which a presidency statement signed by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina says, takes immediate effect is seen in some circles as one that could help ensure the beginning of a process of sanitization of an agency that has long being mired in allegations of graft, sleaze and impunity.
The ousted NIMASA boss has been directed to hand over the management of NIMASA and all government property in his possession to the most senior officer in the agency who will remain in charge until a new Director-General is appointed.
