The Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Dakuku Peterside, has explained the reason he was not present before a National Assembly Joint Committee in Abuja on ...
But on Wednesday, the agency’s Head of Public Relations, Isichei Osamgbi, said Peterside was unable to appear before the NASS committee as he was in Lagos, leading other management staff of the agency to receive members of the House Committee on Maritime Safety Education and Administration who were on an oversight visit.
“NIMASA management communicated same to the national assembly joint committee, requesting for a change of date. “However, a member of the executive management, the Executive Director, Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services, Mr Gambo Ahmed, led the high powered team to represent the agency.” But the Chairman, Senate Committee on Local Contents, Senator Teslim Folarin, and his colleague in the House of Representatives, Legor Idagbo, lamented the decision of Peterside to shun the invitation despite several reminders.
“This is an investigative hearing which supersedes any other engagement. We won’t sit here and be wasting our time. We will give him one more chance, just one chance. If he failed to honour the next invitation, we know what to do,” Folarin said.
