“Congratulations to the 472 staff of the Agency whose promotions have been ratified by the NIMASA Governing Board.
“It is my expectation that this development will serve as a morale booster as you collectively rededicate yourselves to the delivery of our core mandates”.
“We remain dedicated to ensuring staff welfare is at the forefront in order to encourage the hard work and dedication that our staff are known for is maintained and built upon going forward.
“Suffice to say that the promotional exercise was rigorous to ensure our high standards are maintained,” he said.
Jamoh said that the management would continue to ensure that staff promotions were conducted as duly as part of its commitment to human capacity development in the Agency.
He said that such promotions would also ensure positive contributions to the nation’s economic diversification drive.
“The Governing Board enjoined the newly promoted staff to be more dedicated to their duties, as promotions come with added responsibilities,” he said.
