Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the International Seabed Authority (ISA), Her Excellency, Dr Mrs Maureen Tamuno  has applauded the quality of educational facilities the Maritime Academy of Nigeria (MAN) presently parades including the high level of peace and  tranquility reigning in the Academy Community.

 

 

Mrs. Maureen Tamuno who doubles as Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Jamaica described the transformational strides of the Rector as unprecedented.

 

 

She was speaking Wednesday, September 8, 2022, when she led an international delegation on an audit, inspection and assessment of facilities at the nautical training college.

 

 

“I have followed up your activities in the Maritime Academy of Nigeria and I must say it is quite commendable,” she told the MAN Rector,  Commodore Duja Effedua (Rtd).

 

 

 

 

The International Seabed Authority (ISA), she told the Rector,  is an international organization covered by the United Nations Law of the Sea. It was created mainly to protect weaker countries from external encroachment by countries with stronger military might.

 

 

The High Commissioner who facilitates informal sessions on Inspection, Compliance and Enforcement (ICE) in the African region, said the Authority is working on the laws with the aim of  reviewing them to see how they can be more beneficial to mankind.

 

 

Mrs Tamuno explained that the seabed is rich in numerous minerals that could help build the economy in future and that part of what ISA is doing is to build capacity in Nigeria.

 

 

Her visit, she stated, aims at creating awareness about the activities of the ISA.

A workshop designed to provide a forum for interaction with the Secretary General of the ISA, Mr. Michael W. Lodge is being planned for five different African nations including Nigeria, she said.

 

“As part of the mid- term plan, it was agreed that workshops should be organized in 5 different countries. The 4th would be taking place here in Nigeria. About 17 to 20 experts would be flying to come and create awareness about the activities of the Authority. Nigeria is going to benefit immensely because part of what they do is to render help in areas of lack and so we might just be lucky. Because we want to go for the best in the Country, the Academy was highly recommended.  So, we have come to look at what you have on ground because it’s going to be a global event”, she added.

 

 

Reacting, the Rector welcomed the ISA Team and   expressed his satisfaction over the activities of the  Authority at regulating mining and maritime-related activities globally.

 

 

He recalled that prior to his appointment, MAN Oron was in a state of total collapse. But presently, he told the visitors, the institution has moved away from that state of infrastructural deficit against all odds and is now better positioned for global competitiveness.

 

 

He also said that Certificates issued by the Academy are now recognised internationally, because the faculties are strong with competent lecturers and enhanced curriculum to cater for the current training needs in the maritime industry.

 

 

As part of her contribution towards the development of the nation’s maritime industry, the Rector added, the Academy intends to commercialize her educational facilities at concessional rates.

 

 

“Our Cadets are special. Before, they return to the Academy after graduation for other professional trainings, but now they graduate with more than 4 Certificates, courtesy the Management’s free tuition Mandatory Short Course Policy, and that makes them more marketable than their counterparts who graduated before now. Interestingly, organisations keep demanding for them,” he stated.

 

 

The High Commissioner was accompanied by the Director, Maritime Safety and Security, Mr. Babatunde Bombata; Ag. Director, Maritime Boundaries Department, National Boundary Commission, Mr. Nurudeen Abba and the

Deputy Director (Head Protocol) NIMASA, Oluoha Nancy.

 

 

Others were the Chief Marine Officer, Maritime Safety & Security,(FMT), Mrs. Aisha Bisalla and Senior Marine Engineer, Marine Pollution (FMT), Engr. Abraham Nnokam.
