The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) says that its skills acquisition center in Apapa, Lagos is one of the six centres spread across all the geo-political zones of Nigeria.
“Our vision is to equip the Nigerian youth with requisite skills for self-dependence, thus tackling one of the challenges of the Blue Economy, thereby improving productivity and employment,” the company said in a statement in Lagos.
According to the statement, NIMASA Management is empowering youths through skills acquisition at the centers located at the six geo-political zones across the country.
It explained that the programmes are also to instill a sense of purpose and self-worth, promoting social integration within maritime host communities such as this in the Port city of Apapa in Lagos.
“The vision is tackling unemployment with a long-term goal of enhancing maritime security,” it added.
