NIMASA Faces Questions Over ₦879.1m Spent on Publicity, Stores and Retreats

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) is facing scrutiny over ₦879.1 million recorded under six operational expense lines, including media publicity, store replenishment, management retreats, conferences and research schemes. The largest items include ₦300 million for television and radio broadcasts, ₦106.6 million for advertising placements and ₦300 million for unspecified store items. Another ₦50 million was listed for a management strategy document and retreat, while ₦82.5 million covered International Labour Organization conferences. The records do not provide itemised details such as media schedules, campaign outcomes, store inventory or the costs attached to the retreat. Stakeholders are calling for clearer explanations of the spending and how it supported NIMASA's maritime safety, rescue and pollution-control responsibilities.
