The Nigerian President, Mr. Muhammadu Buhari has recently appointed Mr. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh, as the Executive Director Finance and Administration of NIMASA over more qualified and long serving officers in the agency. Other Executive Directors appointed includes Mr. Joseph Oluwarotimi Fashakin, the Executive Director, Maritime Safety and Shipping Development and Mr. Gambo Ahmed as the Executive Director, Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services.

The Executive Director Finance and Administration, Mr. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh is the son-inlaw to President Mohammadu Buhari. Until his appointment, he was an Assistant Director in NIMASA in charge of Training and Development. He had served in the Kaduna State government before transferring his services to the then National Maritime Authority (NMA) in 1994. Jamoh also holds a Master’s degree in Management from the Korea Maritime and Ocean University, with a Diploma in Accounting from the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria.

Mr. Jamoh an Assistant Director is being elevated to an Executive Director, ahead of his superiors, which goes contrary to Nigerian civil services guidelines. Some may say that this was a political appointment but Mr Jamoh never resigned from NIMASA before being elevated to his new position. Based on fairness to official hierarchy which was applied to oust a former Executive Director, Mr. Callistus Nwabueze Obi in favour of Mr. Haruna Jauro who was a NIMASA acting DG for 72 hours after his former boss (DG) was sacked, Mr Jamoh should not have been elevated to this position.

His appointment above his superiors is a major disregard to due process. Obviously you don’t expect a director to take directives from a one time subordinate. This type of appointment breeds bad blood and puts a clog in the wheels of operations and administrative duties. In fact I am compelled to believe he was appointed because he is a son- inlaw to President Mohammadu Buhari, being married to his daughter. This is a deceitful and improper appointment.

Another ED appointee, Mr. Joseph Oluwarotimi Fashakin, is a well-known APC mouthpiece as they sought for this change agenda and quite vocal to say the least. He is the Executive Director in charge of Maritime Safety and Shipping Development. He is a Telecommunication Engineer having graduated from the University of Ife with a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Mr. Fashakin is a career telecommunication engineer and his appointment gratifies the saying that states ‘putting a square peg in a round hole’! He is versed in his qualifications cum experience albeit in the communication sector and one wonders why he was not appointed into the Nigerian Communication Commission, (NCC) or even the Nigerian broadcasting Commission (NBC) where his experience will be brought to bear and well appreciated.

What does Mr. Fashakin bring to the table as far as Maritime Safety and Shipping Development are concerned?
Finally, the third appointee, Mr. Gambo Ahmed, the Executive Director of Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services holds a Bachelor’s degree in (Business Administration) Actuarial Science from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and a Masters in Banking and Finance from the Bayero University, Kano. Mr. Gambo has spent a number of years of his career in the financial sector. If common sense had prevailed in this process, he should have been assigned to Mr. Jamoh’s portfolio of finance and administration or better still sent to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) where his wealth of experience in the sector would be well appreciated.
At a time when our economy is in dire straits, he should have been able to introduce innovative concepts and ideas to the nation’s stock exchange market and by so doing set a pathway to revamping our ailing economy. These appointments are truly lopsided and unthoughtful for NIMASA’s progress.

It is a lie

nabiz:
It is a lie

Truths are always embedded in lies

No wonder nothing is working for the past one year.

If you say nothing is working then, it's obvious nothing will work for you. If someone is employed with diploma, he couldn't upgrade himself? you are silly as you present this as if he has nothing else aside diploma. You want to prove nepotism now as you were blinded to all that happened in the last administration. Stupid boy

Abeg make 2019 reach sharp sharp

While i camt wait for 2019 i still dislike imbecility.

Your post says jamoh us a master's in management why does the topic say diploma holder.

Ps atiku is a diploma holder too.

So he should give the position to those guys up there that are massively corrupt civil servants...stop all this abeg.

Who cares..as long as he delivers..all your stories are for the gods

QuotaSystem:
What a fraudulent title for the thread...

The report says the man had a Master's degree in Management from a maritime university in Korea yet the OP mistakenly or deliberately chose to mislead with the title.

From the title I thought it was just one random inexperienced half literate hack that was picked from Daura, not knowing it was someone who was already a senior director in the agency.

I DIDNT CHANGE THE TITLE FROM THE SOURCE SIR

Re: Buhari Appoints son in-law with Accounts Diploma as Executive Director NIMASA

It is very embarrassing the way some of us misuse the blessings of information and communication age by coming down to a level so low that one could ask a question wether these people have gone to school or become blindfolded by their greed and ego such that they could not see or reason the way they should.

The writer accuses the president of appointing one Bashir Jamoh with a Diploma in Accounts to the position of Executive Director in NIMASA because he is married to the president's daughter.
In his write up he stated that the said Mr Bashir transferred service from Kaduna state government and joined the NIMASA in the year 1994.
Common sense does not agree for a person with a diploma to rise to the position of Assistant Director within 22 years of service (unless of course if he has been an in law to all the past directors of the Agency). This common sense suspects the whole allegation and calls for investigation - after all it's information age!

To do justice to the tripartite parties comprised of Mr President Mr Bashir and the brilliant writer whom I already suspect could be painting mixed truths and taking advantage of the social media to brainwash some innocent readers who would only read the headlines and form opinion without verifying; I subjected all the allegation to empirical investigation.

Start with the allegation of Bashir being a Diploma holder, I surf through the Internet and lucky enough clicked on Mr Jamoh's profile on Likeldn.
I summarized the lengthy profile to fit the minimum words I wish to utilize on this.

PERSONAL PROFILE
Bashir Y Jamoh has Over twenty five (25) years of professional experience following a Diploma in Accounting, from ABU Zaria, IMM Professional Certificate (UK), PGD in Management and Master Degree in Management from BUK and Korea Maritime and Ocean Universities respectively. He is presently a Ph.D student at the Uniport specializing in Logistics and Transport Management.

Having attained management position since 2003, He has realized his career growth through effective performance as Principal Officer, Controller, Chief Administrator, Assistant Director and Head of various units.
A consummate Administrator and trainer, he has organised and facilitated leadership training and manpower development programmes in several countries including U.K., U.S.A., U.A.E., South Africa, Brazil, Malaysia and Sweden among others. He has served in technical and advisory capacities to the Agency’s management. As Head of unit, he provides leadership for a number of line managers and officers on learning and manpower development needs within and outside the agency. He is a highly esteemed and respected expert in maritime human capacity building, public-private partnership development in addition to Shipping Management and International trade.
This seasoned administrator and maritime expert is a member of many professional bodies amongst which are Chartered Institute of Administration of Nigeria (CIA), Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM), Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics (CILT), Institute of Business Development (IBD), Academy of Entrepreneurial Studies (AES), Institute of Public Diplomacy and Management (IPDM), Institute of Maritime Economist (IME) (Canada), Institute of Materials Management UK (IMM) & Nigeria Institute of International Affairs (NIA). He is a recipient of Distinguished Merit Award from the Institute of Transport Administration of Nigeria and International students of the faculty of Law, Bayero University, Kano.
Jamoh possesses the qualities of a good leader in abundance; de-tribalized, disciplined and committed to developing other people’s potentials.

Compressed Work Experience :
Asst Director, Training Development (NIMASA) (March 2011-2016)
Head protocol and logistics - NIMASA (Dec 2010-Feb 2011)
Asst Director, Research - NIMASA (sept 2010-Dec 2010)
Asst Director, operations - NIMASA (July 2009-sept 2010)

Asst produce purchase officer FASCOM, Kaduna st. (Jan 1987-May 1991)
Accountant produce purchase, FASCOM, Kaduna st. (May 1987-Dec 1988)
He is a fellow and Member of More than a dozen of relevant professional bodies both domestic and international.

Coming to know these facts about Mr Bashir I begun to think if he is also a son In Law to the former presidents Late Umaru Musa and GEJ as he served as a member ministerial committees on the development of oil bunkering market in Nigeria and on Personnel matters on NIMASA respectively during their tenures!

Incase you forget, perhaps you may wish to know the requirements to become an executive director (you can browse the Internet for more)
Degree Required: Bachelor degree & Masters degree is recommended
Key skills: Management and delegation skills
Job Growth: 11% (for all top executives )
Initial career appointments to the senior executive service (SES) must be based on merit competition. The Law requires agencies to establish an executive Resources Board to conduct the merit staffing process to meet its unique needs. The process includes choosing a selection method, advertising the position, preliminary review of the applications by personnel specialists, rating and ranking the applicants by a panel with knowledge of the job's requirements, evaluation of each candidates qualification by an executive resources board and making recommendations to the appointing authorities.

Now, giving the facts above which was entirely sourced from the Internet using the right search phrases I can safely dispute your allegations which I believe is baseless and unfounded. It is calculated attempt to tarnish the good image of this administration by those who are bent on getting promoted by all means regardless of their poor performance and shabby CV.
Mr president has done the right thing by confirming the recommendations of the panel saddled with the responsibility of selecting the most competent candidates for these positions.
By God's grace the president will deliver beyond the expectations of Nigerians.
