\u2026 As Jamoh Charges Banks to Complement Government\u2019s Effort<\/p>\n

The Management of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency NIMASA today met with members of the Executive Management of Jaiz Bank, United Bank of Africa (UBA), Union Bank, Zenith Bank and Polaris Bank which are the Federal Government approved Primary Lending Institutions (PLIs) for the disbursement of the Cabotage Vessel Financing Fund, CVFF.<\/p>\n

Speaking shortly after a closed door meeting, the Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh,
\nnoted that the meeting is a major step towards the implementation of the Presidential directive on disbursing the CVFF as announced by the Minister of Transportation, Engr.\u00a0Mu\u2019azu Jaji Sambo, late last year.<\/p>\n

Jamoh noted that their engagement was to ensure that the Agency and the PLIs are on the same page to ensure that lessons from the past will prove useful in implementing the CVFF disbursement and lead to developing shipping and the blue economy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In his words\u201cwe are engaging the banks on the management and disbursement of the CVFF because they are the ones who have the professional know-how in fund management and this would help us in the reduction of risk in order to avoid the same mistakes of the Ship Acquisition and Ship Building Fund”. The banks are expected to come up with issues such as the interest rate, tenor, collateral, and other requirements needed to access the fund. NIMASA is of the position that the interest rate should be of international best practices because the fund being disbursed is Dollar denominated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DG also noted that the CVFF regime is\u00a0a win-win for all stakeholders involved including the banks adding that the banks should look at the windows of opportunity inherent for the benefit of all parties involved.\u00a0On their part, the PLIs applauded the initiative and pledged their support towards ensuring judicious use of the funds to the beneficiaries in order to ensure accountability of the funds are guaranteed.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director of Jaiz bank, Dr. Sirajo Salisu, who spoke on behalf of the PLIs assured of prompt action towards disbursing the funds, noting that interested shipowners should be ready to abide by the provisions of the Cabotage Act.<\/p>

\u201cWe will try our best to partner with the beneficiaries or the proposed beneficiaries of these funds and I believe they are much aware that this is not a grant, this is money that is meant for a purpose and we will ensure that that purpose is achieved to the benefits of the country.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

It is noteworthy that the Cabotage Act provides that NIMASA makes 50 per cent available, the PLIs are expected to support the project with 35 per cent, while intending shipowners would be required to make their contribution of 15 per cent of whatever amount of money is needed for the acquisition of a vessel.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0MD\/CEO Jaiz Bank,\u00a0Dr Sirajo Salisu, Executive Director\u00a0UBA\u00a0Nigeria North, Mrs.\u00a0Emem Usoro,\u00a0Managing Director\u00a0Union Bank\u00a0of Nigeria,\u00a0Mr.Mudassir Amray\u00a0and\u00a0Change Risk Officer,\u00a0Polaris Bank, Mr Temi Ariboloye\u00a0were at the meeting.
