NCAT, NITT, NMA and proposed NMU are under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Transport. Nigeria Civil Aviation authority funds NCAT, while NMU(proposed) and NMA are under NIMASSA.

These are specialised institutions. Is Law School under Ministry of Education or Justice ministry?

Maritime Academy of Nigeria is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport, Funded by NIMASA and other OICs in Nigeria just like NLNG

For your information, Gbaramatu where the Maritime Univ. is sited, is not Warri, rather its a riverine town in another local govt.entirely.
Standing5:
I support the establishment of The uni but don't want it in Warri. Warri has a strong track record of chasing away anything good. The Petroleum Uni there has been marred by infighting amongs Warri indigenes who think it is their exclusive property. There are many place more seren and with more water bodies than Warri.

At the useless "One Nigeria OP", Our one Nigeria is broke so we cannot be spending money inflicted by criminals on such useless venture.
Head straight to ORON, if you want Martine education it is Niger-Delta too.

The honorable minister acted in the best interest of Nigeria at a time of financial crunch.
Ironically your hypocritical bigoted self acclaimed patriot should know this or did the adrenaline rush of Ijaw agenda overshadowed your lying and deceptive stands?

Was looking forward to having an intelligent discourse with an informed person, but u are totally misinformed and uninformed at the same tym.

You say Sanusi was vindicated? By what? Didn't u knw that the useless man was probed and indicted for many issues b4 he was sacked? U knw nothing man. Ur telling me how money was transferred to the NSA account, but that had never been the issue. The issue is whether the 2.1bn dollars been touted on all media places was truly embezzled. Lastly that pic does not prove anything and cannot even be used as evidence in court so it means nothing. Pls get urself informed by reading newspaper and not from nairaland. Have a nice day...

This coming from a so called Well Informed person is baffling. As I said, you were one of those who fought against the truth of Emir Sanusi. Your comment proves it.


PwC's audit report supports many of Sanusi's allegations. The auditors found that the total gross revenues generated from the federal government of Nigeria crude oil liftings was $69.34bn from January 2012 to July 2013.

The total cash remitted into the government's accounts in relation to crude oil lifting was $50.81bn, leaving $18.53bn unaccounted for.

The report raised serious questions about the level of transparency and corporate structure of the national oil company.

And didn't u also know that NNPC gave their own account where they factored in operational costs among other costs incurred by them in the same period? The total money that was unaccounted for became very very reduced. Sanusi was busy conjuring and named 3 diff figures without any coherence or evidence.

Who's duty is it to build university to standard? Is it not the government? If Jonathan built substandard, does that stop the incumbent from making them to standard? Which institution in Nigeria offers degree training in maritime studies? Is it not better we have one at home than keep going to Ghana and India? What's your point man?

Why not tell the government to scrap Law schools, Nda, Police Academy, Nigeria Military School, Police staff colleges, Aviation College, etc because non of them are world class.

Law school is under the ministry of justice.

Our economic troubles do not encourage duplication of institutions now.We can do more to ameliorate the cobsequences of harsh deprivations than spend what we borrow to build a new university to turn out more graduates that have poor skills and access no jobs.

Stop this sectionalism disguised as intellectual analysis.

Few points why Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron (MAN) is different from The proposed Maritime University (MU)

1. MAN is a diploma awarding institution, while MU would be a degree awarding institution (Note: 95% of Maritime schools in UK schools are diploma awarding institution)

2. MAN is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport, the school is not part of any association body (E.g ASUU) hence there's no form of protest in the school nor strike, While MU will be totally different

3. MAN is a specialised institution for training seafarers and maritime personnel, while MU would offer of a lot of courses ranging from Marine biology, Marine ecology etc and will be more of research and professionalism

4. MAN is a regimented school by decree, currently manned by the Nigerian Navy which makes the school more disciplined and coordinated, The MU will be totally different from this sphere, hence the normal Nigeria university arrangements

5. MAN is funded by NIMASA and NLNG supports the institution by supplying fire fighting apparels, training kits, etc and also sending at least 50 cadets every year after their diploma for training in UK

6. People studying in MAN are called CADETS while in MU would be called STUDENTS

7. MAN offers a lot of opportunities for their cadets after diploma to be deployed to work onboard ships to acquire their sea time where in turn they go back for their certificate of competency examination organised by NIMASA which in future they become third, second, chief engineer or chief mate, Master of a vessel but in MU it's all about research and professionalism

8. In the proposed MU, most of students might complete their education without knowing how a ship looks like nor the components.... because their curriculum will be totally different from MAN

9. During my cadetship days in MAN (2008), I was lucky to get a sea time job with seatruck company (Walvis Nigeria)... every year a lot of shipping companies picks cadets for cadetship opportunities

Like Marine Platforms, NLNG, Seatruck, Starzs Marine, Tidex, ExxonMobil and a lot of maritime companies... Hence More Job opportunities...


With the above listed points of mine.... MAN is far different from MU, because a lot of people would not want to work onboard a ship nor have a seafaring career which is the sole responsibility of attending MAN institution, at least the proposed MU will cater for their future career needs and progression.

TonyeBarcanista:

I ask again, do we have any institution in Nigeria for the said purpose? Is NIMASA asking Amaechi for money or hasn't contract been awarded already?

I am a Niger Deltan, politics anywhere is about interest. Our interest within the State is very important to me, just like the interest of the yorubas is important to a Yorubaman.

Which tribe in Niger Delta are you from?; from my checks Abia and Imo States are part of the Niger Delta and you have been anti Igbo on this forum.
Perhaps the thing pain you well well say Amaechi (thats an Igbo name) gave you back just a little of what you have wished on the Igbos whom you now refer to as 'IPOBIANS'.
The good part is that many in the South South including Ijaws have realized that Igbos seem to have their interest at heart because they all travel on the same routes from Enugu to Portharcourt and Umuahia to Calabar etc, their men tie wrappers for ceremonies and they eat mostly the same kind of staple food garri and fufu. So you are in the minority and I know Igbos will call Amaechi to order on this matter for the good of Niger Delta.

IT IS NOW I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT MOST OF U COMMENT ON NAIRALAND PURELY ON IGNORANCE.

UPGRADING MAN, ORON, WON'T INCREASE ADMISSION QUOTA. IT WILL ONLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COURSES OFFERED THERE WHICH THEY CANNOT INTRODUCE DUE TO ITS PRESENT STATUS. IT WILL ALSO ALLOWS THEM AWARD DEGREES. THAT'S ALL.

MARITIME EDUCATION WORLDWIDE IS REGULATED BY IMO AND IS NOT UR CONVENTIONAL EDUCATION. IN FACT THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ADMIT UPTO 50 CADETS IN EACH OF MARINE ENGINEERING AND NAUTICAL DEPTS. IF IMO BECOMES AWARE OF THIS ADMISSION SURPLUS, THEY MIGHT BE SANCTIONED.

PLS AND PLS, STOP MENTIONING OIL HERE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECT. THOSE IN THE INDUSTRY WILL LAUGH AT UR IGNORANCE. FUNDING MARITME EDUCATION IN NIGERIA IS THE DUTY OF NIMASA. CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF WHAT NIMASA MAKES YEARLY GOES TO SUCH PROJECT AND IT IS BY LAW. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OIL PRICE BROTHER.

SO NEXT TIME, COMMENT ONLY ON WHAT YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF


At least thank GOD u really have a great idea how MAN oron operates....

Maritime Education is regulated by IMO and there's a limit of cadets that can be admitted per dept, I can remember when I was in ND1 around 2006, HND2 cadets in nautical dept were just 5, and Marine engineering were just 26... Now the school is in a mess, the institution is over populated, some of them doesn't even know their purpose there.... I think it was a great idea for GEJ to proposed the siting of MU in Warri.. At least a lot of people who tried to get admission in MAN can also try their luck at MU instead of travelling out to Ghana,SA, UK to study

It is my humble appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore the unpatriotic position of Amaechi, which is capable of causing ethnic tension in the region. I'm optimistic that his government will go-ahead with the proposed NMU, Warri.

May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

Barca.....nice article.

BUT.....and there is a big but.....I still do not agree with you.

Yes....let's go on with the university. But....what happens when the university is finished? How will you continue funding it?

There is one answer to that question....and that is increased tuition fees.

Which you people don't like at all.

Ur reasoning ability is questionable. NNPC has operational costs amongst others which it uncured on a daily basis so wat do u mean by they were to remit and not spend it as they like? Is operational cost "spending as they like"?

That NNPC is wantonly corrupt is not in dispute, the issue here is that Sanusi claimed 3 different figures to have been missing, all above 20 million dollars. I'm not saying NNPC is clean but that u shud not just swallow Sanusi's allegations as factual after all the man was also indicted by a probe and sacked for it so he cud have given all those figures just to attract public empathy when he wud be eventually sacked!

The issue is not Emir Sanusi claiming three different figures. The issue was h fought to expose that NNPC did not remit billions of US dollars.

The figure is not the problem but the corrupt act itself.

Attack the messenger and not the message. We know this. Emir Sanusi had his defence for the allegations from the corrupt cronies. The allegations were not proven but the PWC proved him right.

The fact is that PWC proved Emir Sanusi was right that the NNPC did not remit Billions of dollars. So you can choose to attack him or face the fact that he exposed one of the highest corruption scandal in the history of Nigeria.
