…’Training of Nigerian Seafarers remains a priority’ – JAMOH.
…Development will aid dockworkers welfare- MWUN.
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) today launched the electronic registration platform for maritime labour and issuance of Biometric Identity Cards to Dockworkers. The Agency’s Director General Dr Bashir Jamoh described the e-platform as a major step towards attaining full automation of all its processes adding that it was conceived out of the need to establish an independent, robust, integrated information, verification and communication platform that would serve as a system database generation on maritime labour in Nigeria.
The DG who was represented by the Agency’s Executive Director, Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services, Engr. Victor Ochei, stated that the development of automation processes would benefit the industry both in terms of time-saving thereby improving on service delivery, as well as building capacity of the maritime labour workforce.
According to him, “I am particularly delighted about the prospect of eliminating the time consuming process of seafarers and employers registration which is what the E-Platform would provide. It is further expected that the E-Platform would promote a seamless registration process that will culminate with the issuance of biometric identity cards to seafarers and dockworkers”.
Dr Jamoh went on to state that the Agency remained committed to building up the capacity of Nigerian seafarers and dockworkers in order to improve on the standing of the country’s maritime sector among the committee of maritime nations stating that:
“I wish to reiterate the Agency’s commitment towards actualising its mandate as provided in the enabling Act. Our resolve to make life meaningful to the entire maritime labour remains firm and we intend to achieve this through sustainable efforts in capacity building and improved welfare. The Agency is also prioritizing the training of Nigerian seafarers to meet industry needs with emphasis on specialized and advanced trainings”.
The President General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN), Comrade Adewale Adeyanju, expressed his delight with the automation of maritime labour registration processes by NIMASA stating that the Agency had proven that it was indeed committed to improving standards in the Nigerian maritime sector especially in terms of labour practices and capacity development.
Also in attendance at the event were representatives of major maritime stakeholders including; Nigerian Ports Authority, Nigerian Shippers Council, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigeria Customs Service, Commissioner of Police (Apapa Port), among others.

Dupe Olusola, Founder of the Next Generation Foundation and a transformational leader with vast experience spanning hospitality, finance, agribusiness, SME growth, and private equity, delivered a powerful keynote address at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Nigeria Office’s IP & Women Business Summit 2025.
The event, held at the United Nations House in Abuja on Thursday, March 20, 2025, brought together female entrepreneurs and professionals to explore the intersection of intellectual property (IP) and business growth.
In her inspiring speech, Olusola emphasized the importance of personal branding and intellectual property protection as critical tools for women in business. She acknowledged the overwhelming interest in the event, noting how many women were eager to participate.
“That energy speaks to our collective thirst for growth and our commitment to being better,” she remarked.
Olusola highlighted the essence of personal branding, stating that a brand is more than a logo or a tagline—it is an individual’s reputation, voice, and the unique value they bring to the marketplace. She urged women to embrace their authenticity, stand for something meaningful, and remain consistent in their brand messaging.
“Authenticity is key. Your journey, including the challenges, is what makes you unique. Integrity and consistency will set you apart in your industry,” Olusola noted.
She also underscored the significance of intellectual property in protecting personal and business brands.
Encouraging women to safeguard their work, she stated, “We invest years into crafting our stories and expertise—so why leave them vulnerable? Intellectual property protection is not just for corporations; it is for every entrepreneur, every innovator, and every woman who wants to safeguard her legacy.”
Highlighting the financial impact of a strong personal brand, Olusola explained how it opens doors to new business opportunities, leadership roles, and partnerships. “Your network is your net worth.
A well-managed personal brand directly translates into increased revenue and influence,” she said.
She further explored key strategies for brand visibility, emphasizing the need to show up consistently, engage in meaningful networking, and leverage digital platforms to amplify one’s voice.
She encouraged attendees to be bold in advocating for themselves and their ideas, reminding them that success is built through persistence and resilience.
Concluding her speech, Olusola challenged the audience to take ownership of their personal brands and intellectual assets. “Audit your brand today. Do you own your name, your logo, and the content you produce? Have you taken the necessary steps to protect your identity and ideas? Your brand is not just who you are today—it is an asset that will create opportunities and impact for generations to come.”
Her message resonated deeply with attendees, many of whom left the event empowered with new strategies to strengthen and protect their personal and business brands.
The IP & Women Business Summit 2025 served as a crucial platform for knowledge-sharing, inspiring female entrepreneurs to harness the power of intellectual property to secure their businesses and legacies.
