House Of Reps Approves NIMASA Disbursement Of $360million Cabotage Finance Fund To Nigerian Ship OwnersThe House of Representatives has given approval for the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency to disburse $360 million Cabotage Vessel Finance Fund to Nigerian ship owners.
NIMASA in a statement by its Assistant Director of Public Relations, Osagie Edward, made available to SaharaReporters on Friday said that a House of Reps committee gave the approval for disbursement of the $360 million CVFF at the end of an investigation it conducted. According to him, the lawmakers stated that"After a thorough analysis of the various submissions, coupled with the explanations given by the Ministry and NIMASA, the Committee discovered that due process was followed in the planned disbursement of the Cabotage Vessel Finance Fund.
"The Committee further notes that there is a lack of capacity amongst indigenous/ Domestic Coastal operators in Nigeria, thus the reason Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited still awards contracts to foreign shipping companies in contravention of the Cabotage and Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Acts. Some of these awards have been previously investigated by the Committee, which led to their cancellation.
