The PAP IA further sought the possibility of the establishment of a Coordinating Secretariat between PAP and NIMASA to drive further conversations. “We are looking at technical support from NIMASA, job placement opportunities in NIMASA for our qualified delegates,” he added.
The DG noted that the meeting between both agencies is apt, and is a wakeup call on the need to collaborate efforts, as both agencies are closely related. He noted that this is a critical time to for NIMASA and PAP to have a robust relationship, adding that “the international community is already commending Nigeria for the successes recorded in addressing Maritime insecurity in the country”. “Both the Nigerian government and international committee are watching to see if the tempo can be sustained,” he said.
