Following the official take over by Dr Bashir Jamoh on Tuesday as the new Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed ex-Delta State Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Engr) Victor Ochei Esq. as Executive Director of Maritime Labour and Cabotage Services.
The appointment came after the expiration of the tenure of the former NIMASA Board led by Dakuku Peterside.
Ochei who will replace Mr Gambo Ahmed served as Speaker of the fifth Assembly in Delta State.
He joined the All Progressive Congress (APC) after the 2015 general elections, vying for the Governorship position in 2019 but was discouraged by the crises in the party.
The former lawmaker hails from Onicha-Olona in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State.
He possesses professional knowledge and experience in engineering, financial management, corporate governance, education administration and law.
