President Buhari Sacks NIMASA Boss (See)

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday terminated the appointment of Mr. Patrick Ziakede Akpobolokemi as the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and

Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, announced the sacking in a statement made available to journalists.

Adesina, however, did not give reason for the decision which he said took immediate effect.

He said Akpobolokemi would hand over the management of NIMASA and all government property in his possession to the most senior officer in the agency who will remain in charge until a new Director-General is appointed.
