The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organisation (ITC-ILO) to strengthen human capacity development and enhance professional standards within Nigeria’s maritime sector.
The agreement, signed in Turin, Italy, is aimed at boosting NIMASA’s institutional capacity through targeted technical assistance, specialised training and capacity-building programmes for staff and key stakeholders across the Nigerian maritime industry.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, NIMASA Director General, Dr Dayo Mobereola, said investment in human capital remains a key pillar of the agency’s strategy to build a resilient maritime industry capable of meeting evolving global demands.
Represented by the Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Mr Chudi Offodile, Mobereola said the collaboration aligns with NIMASA’s long-term objective of delivering structured capacity development initiatives for maritime professionals.
“This partnership, therefore, responds directly to that objective and further reinforces the Agency’s commitment to structured and targeted capacity development, while leveraging the ITC-ILO’s expertise and global pedigree to strengthen the training of maritime labour inspectors, policymakers, and trainers in the interpretation and implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended,” he said.
He added that the partnership would play a strategic role in advancing Nigeria’s maritime industry and improving labour administration standards.
“We remain committed to ensuring that the knowledge, systems, and partnerships developed through this engagement translate into measurable improvements in maritime labour administration and support a sector that is globally respected, professionally driven, safe, and firmly anchored on the principles of decent work,” Mobereola said.
Also speaking, the Director of ITC-ILO, Mr Christopher Perrin, welcomed the partnership and assured that the organisation would deploy its expertise and resources to support Nigeria’s drive towards sustainable human capacity development.
The agreement follows a series of engagements and strategic meetings between both organisations.
Executive Director, Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services at NIMASA, Mr Jibril Abba, and ITC-ILO Head of Training, Giuseppe Zefola, served as focal persons throughout the process, while ILO Regional Adviser and Technical Expert, Dr Amos Kuje, provided technical guidance.
I wanted to take a moment to share my personal journey because I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to live with a chronic diagnosis like HSV-2. For years, I struggled with the physical and emotional toll this virus took on my life, and honestly, I had almost given up hope after being told by multiple doctors that there was no real cure. It was a dark time, and it deeply affected my confidence and my personal relationships. Everything changed when I stumbled upon a forum where someone shared their own experience with Dr. Kham herbal remedies. I’ll be honest—I was incredibly skeptical at first, having already tried so many things that didn't work. However, the sincerity in their story pushed me to reach out. From the moment I contacted him, he was professional and truly attentive to everything I had been going through. He guided me through the process of using his herbal regimen, and after following his instructions carefully, I was absolutely stunned to see such a positive turn in my health. Getting back to a place where I feel like myself again has been nothing short of a miracle. I am sharing this simply because I know there are others out there searching for answers and feeling like they have nowhere left to turn. If you have been struggling with health issues like HSV-2, HPV, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Lupus or other chronic conditions, I genuinely recommend reaching out to him. You can contact Dr. Kham Remedies via email at [ dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com ] or send him a message on WhatsApp at (+248159922297).
