“On behalf of my humble self, the Federal Ministry of Transportation, and the Nigerian Maritime Stakeholders, I wish to congratulate the 2022 graduating Cadets, the Rector and entire Staff of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria for this momentous occasion in the life of these Cadets and the Maritime Industry. The Federal Ministry of Transportation joins the Academy in this celebration”.

 

“I also wish to express my appreciation to the lecturers that have imparted so much knoeledge on these Cadets, including those that worked behind the scenes to make these Cadets what they are today, their labour of love will never be forgotten.” Adegoroye said.

Maritime experts comprising former Cadets of the Academy, Master Mariners, Ship Captains who spoke during the POP, urged the Cadet to embraced the future with hope as they have the broad shoulders of many to lean on and learn from.

They were enjoined to be humble, disciplined and collaborate with others to achieve what they seek.

She emphasized that there is no alternative to hard work if they must achieve their dreams.

Do not be intimidated by the males, they are your colleagues. You must stand out and be bold.  Hard work has no gender; success has no gender as well, those who work hard succeed irrespective of gender, creed or colour.

The Rector who was crowned the father of Modern Maritime Academy of Nigeria by the  Honourable Minister of State for Transportation, Prince Ademola Adegoroye at the 2022 POP, told the graduating Cadets that humility will open doors for them if they maintain the discipline inculcated in them in the Academy.

“Do whatever you are asked to do. Do not be proud. There is   reward for hard work, humility and discipline, if you carry out whatever  tasks you are assigned anywhere, anytime”

“While l was onboard at the beginning of my career, l carried out any task given to me, if you must go far in this business, you must be willing to serve and be respectful and humble. At a time l was treated as a rating, we painted, scrubbed floors and cleaned ships”.

“But l grew to become a captain of a ship, many senior officers in the navy passed through the basics like you, continue to learn and upgrade yourselves and get ready for more demanding tasks. Now you’re are stepping out into the next most important stage, to be successful in this career, hard work and discipline is not negotiable.  They essential requirements which you cannot run away from one.” the Rector said
