Despite the investment of over N16 billion in training 2,476 cadets through the National Seafarers Development Programme in the past 15 years, only 100 Nigerian seafarers are employed on international merchant ships
The ITF’s Africa Regional Secretary, Safiyanu Muhammed, expressed concern over both the whereabouts and employment status of NSDP-trained seafarers, underscoring the disheartening reality that a vast majority of these individuals remain unemployed. The programme has also faced setbacks, including the loss of 12 beneficiaries and the withdrawal of 153 others. The ITF critique extended to the practice by NIMASA of issuing limited certifications, which restrict Nigerian seafarers’ opportunities in contrast to peers with unlimited certificates from other nations.
