TENSION has gripped Directors of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, the highest regulatory agency in the maritime industry, following the sudden retirement of four Directors and impending retirement of another set of Deputy Directors of the agency.
Already, the Senate Committee on Marine Transport headed by Hajia Zainab Kure, the Federal Character Commission, FCC and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, have summoned the Director General of the agency, Mr. Patrick Akpobolokemi, to explain the appointments and retirement of personnel in the agency since 2011 when he took over the leadership.
