The Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has recently received commendation from the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) for its proactive approach to institutional reforms.

Speaking at a two-day sensitization workshop in Lagos, the Director General of BPSR, Dr. Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi, commended the Agency for its visionary commitment to enhancing operational efficiency, transparency, and service delivery through the automation of its systems.

In his keynote address titled “Overview of National Strategy for Public Service Reforms,” Dr. Arabi identified NIMASA as one of the outstanding MDAs embracing transformative change.

He noted that the Agency’s reform agenda, particularly its adoption of digital technologies, sets a commendable benchmark for other government institutions. “NIMASA is showing, in practical terms, what alignment with national reform goals should look like. Their embrace of automation is not just innovative—it is essential for modern governance,” Arabi stated.

The DG further underscored the importance of Reform Coordination Units within MDAs, saying it serves as strategic instruments for institutionalising change, improving performance, and aligning operations with the national reform blueprint led by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR).

Among the key national reform initiatives he cited were the Treasury Single Account (TSA), the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), and the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS)—all aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in public service delivery.

“Our focus is to equip institutions with tools such as the Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) and to facilitate collaboration among stakeholders in order to drive consistent improvements in public service delivery,” Arabi added.
