The government said the charge is unjustified given that the country has set up security infrastructure aimed at eradicating various risks encountered by seafarers on Nigeria’s territorial waters.
Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh, made the call over the weekend in Lagos, while giving his welcome address at an event organised by the agency to mark the Day of the Seafarer, 2021 themed: ‘Fair Future for Seafarers.’
