In a recent development, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has firmly refuted claims made by Femi Falana, a respected Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), regarding the acquisition of properties in the United Kingdom under the agency’s current administration.
The allegations surfaced during Femi Falana’s appearance on the Sunrise program on Channels Television.
However, NIMASA, in a statement issued in response, categorically denies any veracity in these allegations. According to the agency, there is no foundation to the claim that NIMASA has procured any properties in England, as asserted by Femi Falana.
To put the matter to rest, NIMASA emphasized that it has not acquired any property abroad, including in England, for over three decades.
The agency’s leadership underscores their commitment to transparent and ethical practices, assuring the public that any such acquisitions are thoroughly vetted and adherent to all regulations.
While NIMASA holds the utmost respect for Femi Falana’s perspectives on public affairs, the agency has formally requested that he reconsider his statement and withdraw the unsubstantiated assertion. As a platform to promote accuracy and responsible discourse, NIMASA also seizes this opportunity to remind both Femi Falana and the general public about the significance of verifying facts prior to disseminating information.
In light of these developments, the public is encouraged to dismiss the allegations made by Femi Falana, SAN, regarding NIMASA’s purported property acquisitions in the UK.
The agency remains committed to its mission of ensuring maritime safety and adhering to the highest standards of integrity in its operations.
