Appeal Court President Applauds Jamoh on his Commitments to Admiralty Matters
The President of Appeal Court, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem,
has commended the Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh, for his exemplary leadership role in advancing the cause of adjudication and mediation in admiralty matters.
Speaking at Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) seminar for judges in Abuja, Justice Dongban-Mensem said Dr Jamoh is contributing immensely to keeping judicial officers abreast with relevant knowledge to handle maritime matters.
The Appeal Court President, who personally participated in a similar seminar for judges organised by NIMASA, added that the DG has set worthy examples for his peers, which has increased capacity of Judges to perform better.
Dr Jamoh’s impact touches on areas like timely and easier interpretation of Suppression of Piracy and other Maritime Offences (SPOMO) Act, aims at achieving a safer maritime domain; alternative dispute resolution in the maritime industry and limits of admiralty jurisdiction in Nigeria
Under Jamoh’s watch and with NIMASA as an interested party, Nigeria recorded its first conviction of pirates using the SPOMO Act at the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt in August 2020.
The three persons convicted were accused of involvement in the hijack of an Equatorial Guinean flagged vessel named, MV ELOBEY VI, off Equatorial Guinea’s coast.
