The promotions were ratified at a meeting of the Governing Board of the Agency held at the NIMASA headquarters in Lagos.

“Congratulations to the 472 staff of the Agency whose promotions have been ratified by the NIMASA Governing Board, It is my expectation that this development will serve as a morale booster as you collectively rededicate yourselves to the delivery of our core mandates,” Jamoh said.

Continuing, he said: “We remain dedicated to ensuring staff welfare is at the forefront in order to encourage the hard work and dedication. The promotional exercise was rigorous to ensure our high standards are maintained.”

He said that the Management of NIMASA will continue to ensure that staff promotions are conducted as and when due as part of its commitment to human capacity development.

The Governing Board enjoined the newly promoted staff to be more dedicated to their duties, saying that promotions come with added responsibilities.

This promotion exercise is the third since Jamoh-led management assumed office in March 2020.
