Calls for greater Capacity and Information Sharing

 

Dr. Dakuku Peterside, DG, NIMASA

The Chairman of the Association of African Maritime Administration (AAMA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside has reiterated the commitment of the African body to build a competitive maritime sector in Africa through continuous engagements and sharing of ideas.

Speaking at the 3rd session of the Executive Council of the Association, Dakuku disclosed that there is  need for concerted efforts by the various maritime administrations in Africa to be put in place to be able to compete favourably with its counterparts in other continents.

The AAMA Chairman who is also the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) noted that the choice of the various countries in the EXCO was to ensure geographical spread and even representation.

In his words, “I beckon on you all to note that our primary aim of coming here is to continue to uphold the tenets of the African Maritime Transport Charter (AMTC) to improve among others, the capacity, capability and performance of Africa’s Maritime Administrations and the maritime/shipping sector with great emphasis on human resources development, technology and information sharing”.

Dakuku enjoined the participants to make valuable contributions to the course of promoting the African maritime administrations, as it will help to achieve set goals for the body in African.

 “Let me assure you that, we will not relent in our efforts to build competitive and vibrant maritime and shipping sector and to give Africa a voice among comity of maritime nations as Africa is our hope for sustainable growth”, the AMAA Chair said.

Dr. Peterside also expressed delight and optimism that the meeting will yield results and profound way forward to actualizing the African Maritime Transport Charter (AMTC).

The AAMA Executive Council is made up of representatives of Central Africa (Cameroun, Cape Verde), West Africa (Cote D’Ivoire and Ghana), East Africa (Tanzania and Comoros), Southern Africa (Mozambique and South Africa), North Africa (Egypt and Sudan) and Uganda representing land-locked countries. The meeting had in attendance Executive Council members from Cape Verde, Ghana, Tanzania, Comoros, Mozambique, South Africa, Egypt, Sudan, Uganda and Nigeria.

Dr. Dakuku Peterside was elected  Chairman of AAMAin 2007 during the 3rd conference of the body held in Nigeria. In 2018 Dr. Peterside was elected to continue his tenure as Chairman during the 4th AAMA Conference in Egypt because of the visibility his leadership has given AAMA globally.  The 3rd Session of EXCO will focus on several issues that will continue to drive AAMA’s vision, ambition and strategy for the sustainable development of Africa’s Maritime Domain.
