AS NIMASA DG Mobereola Mourns 

Arch. Ferdinand Agu

Even as many maritime stakeholders are yet to come to accept the painful reality of the sudden passing unto eternity of Arch. Ferdinand Agu, former Director General of the National Maritime Authority, NMA, from which the present Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), was birthed, the Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, has described the death of Architect Ferdinand Agu, former Director General of the defunct National Maritime Authority (NMA), as a rude shock.

Reacting to Agu’s sudden passing this weekend, the NIMASA DG expressed that it is a significant loss to Nigeria, the maritime community and NIMASA in particular.

His words “I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Arc. Ferdinand Agu, a former Director General of NMA. He left an indelible impression on me within the short time we shared during my first stakeholder engagement just last month. I had hoped to engage him more often, to tap into his wealth of experience for the collective interest of every Nigerian”.

“Alas, death has denied us this privilege. Agu’s legacy of dedication and excellence will continue to inspire us all. We will miss his wisdom, kindness, and unwavering dedication to improving our maritime industry. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace,” Mobereola stated.
