…CG Commends automation of Dockworkers registration.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Nigerian Maritime Administration and SafetyAgency, NIMASA and the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS have agreed to deepen existing interagency collaboration\u00a0with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU\u00a0on\u00a0Seafarers\u2019 Travel document amongst others.<\/p>\n

This agreement was reached when the\u00a0Comptroller\u00a0General of the NIS,\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Isah\u00a0Idris\u00a0Jere\u00a0led senior officials of the Service on\u00a0a working visit to the\u00a0Management of NIMASA.<\/p>\n

The Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamohnot ed that the role of the Nigerian Immigration Service in enhancing security in the maritime domain is crucial, adding that seamless issuance of travel documents to seafarers is a key component in the nation\u2019s quest to grow the maritime industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to Dr.\u00a0Jamoh,\u00a0\u201cSecurity on land is key\u00a0to achieving a safe and secure\u00a0maritime domain. NIMASA appreciates the need to work closely with the Immigration\u00a0Service to improve security in the maritime domain.\u00a0We need the\u00a0Service to play a major role in issues of crew nationality, seafarers travel document and managing issues of\u00a0stowaways,\u00a0amongst others.<\/p>\n

The DG and the Immigration Comptroller General thus agreed to develop a Memorandum of Understanding to provide a framework for the working relationship.<\/p>\n

The NIMASA DG also commended\u00a0the contribution of the NIS in the implementation of the\u00a0Suppression of Piracy and other Maritime Offences (SPOMO) Act, stating\u00a0“The passing into law of the SPOMO Act, and subsequent prosecutions recorded\u00a0under\u00a0that law\u00a0has involved working closely with the NIS. With that being said, NIMASA will continue to offer our helping hand to the Nigeria Immigration Service even as we anticipate further collaboration”.<\/p>\n

On his part, the NIS Comptroller General identified issuance of temporary work permits to international vessel crews as well as preventing stowaways,\u00a0as areas of frequent collaboration between both organs of Government\u00a0while also commending NIMASA’s automation of dockworkers registration nationwide.<\/p>

According to him, “Our visit to NIMASA is a signal that the Nigeria Immigration Service seeks continued collaboration and deepened synergy as we collectively work to address the issues facing us in our coastal lines\u00a0and in maintaining the integrity of our territorial waters”.<\/p>\n

“We welcome the Agency’s automation of dockworkers registration and issuance of biometric identity cards as a great step in the task of securing the nation’s ports.<\/p>\n
