NIMASA wins best MDA in digital transformation award
The Presidency through the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) has declared the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) as the best Federal Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) in digital transformation.
Director-General of BPSR, Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi, who conveyed the Presidential award to NIMASA Management, also announced that the Director General and Chief Executive Officer (DG/CEO) of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh has been nominated for the distinguished GovTech Trailblazers award for providing exemplary leadership.
In a statement issued by the agency’s Assistant Director, Public Relations, Osagie Edward, the BPSR also announced that the awards were as a result of a nationwide nomination and online voting process initiated by the Bureau, as well as detailed analysis of performance of all government MDAs at the national level.
Presentation of the award is scheduled for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja in October this year, just as Jamoh expressed delight and assured of the agency’s commitment to full operational digitisation.
“This award is a pleasant surprise. We weren’t expecting it. We were just doing our job. This award will spur us to accelerate our quest to fully digitise all NIMASA operations.”
Public sector reform comprises deliberate changes to the structures and processes of public sector organisations with the objective of getting them to run better.
