Tinubu names ex-LAMATA boss as new NIMASA DG
President Bola Tinubu has named Dr Dayo Mobereola as the director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
This came after the exit of Dr Bashir Jamoh, whose tenure recently expired.
The announcement is contained in a statement issued Tuesday night by Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity.
The statement said, “Dr Mobereola holds a Ph.D, and an M.Sc in Transport Economics from the University of Wales, United Kingdom. He is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport, England, and a fellow of the same institute in Nigeria.”
“He was the Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) from 2003 to 2015 and was also the Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos State from 2015 to 2016.
“In the private sector, he was Deputy Managing Director and Project Development Director at AFM Consulting Plc, London. He was also Senior Economist at British Petroleum Shipping Limited, London.”
The special adviser said Tinubu expects Mobereola to bring his vast experience to bear in his new role under the leadership of Adegboyega Oyetola, minister of marine and blue economy.
